tbh I’ve always found it very funny that Elrond is like “there’s no point bringing Glorfindel on the quest, even though he’s a balrog-slayer. You won’t need balrog-slayers” and then thirty pages later they run into a balrog

Fanfic Writers: Director’s Cut

Reblog this if you want readers to come into your ask box and ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story, section of a story, or set of lines. 

Or, send in a ⭐star⭐  to have the author select a section they’ve been dying to talk about!

Well, I decided to write more for the Breaking, Mending timeline, since Fresh Cat Grass shenanigans have been bouncing around in my head. Though we don't yet get into those (much) here in ch2

Wake Up, the New Body Just Dropped

Fresh Cut Grass really didn’t expect to come online again.

It’s not that he doubts his friends love him enough to bring him back, but more the manner in which he died.

Theoretically, resurrection magics will work on Fresh Cut Grass. They have a soul that can be retrieved from death and a body to return it to. But, resurrections generally require a mostly intact body, as they close the mortal wound and get the body going again. And FCG had not only destroyed their power core, the closest thing they had to a heart, but the force of the detonation of their core would have sundered the rest of their body into scrap metal (that had sort of been the point. One final blow that could fell Otohan Thull before she could kill any of the others, even as it took his life).

But maybe a new body could be built for him. Fresh Cut Grass’s original body was built, created and enchanted in some ancient forge long destroyed. Maybe incorporating what was left of him into a new build would make it still count as his body. Like an extreme parts swap or modification. It’s not like FCG wasn’t swapping parts out before, this would just be far more extensive than anything he’d done in his life (that he could remember).

Regardless, Fresh Cut Grass returns to consciousness from the (eventually) eternal rest of death.

The new body Bells Hells has had constructed for him sure seems to be something. 

Even in the brief moment of initial return, FCG can tell that this body gets a lot more data input from its surroundings than their old one. There’s so many more sensations coming through from all over this new body. Some of those sensations they barely recognize from the few times they’ve been polymorphed, though it all seems so new now that FCG has their full faculties to process what animal instinct had easily worked through and often dismissed as unimportant. 

Though whatever programming is built into the sigils and arrays that allow FCG all of this sensory feedback seems a bit… messy, he supposes is the best way to put it. It doesn’t neatly sort and categorize to give him a basic idea of what he is dealing with based on whatever knowledge was built into him (maybe. Fresh Cut Grass doesn’t remember the first time he truly came online, back when he was Faithful Care-Giver. He doesn’t know if his basic facts were taught to him or written into him). Instead it is all sensation that his mind is struggling to make sense of, leaning into the experience of his previous body and those animal brain distorted memories of Polymorph.

“I've always known who Fy'ra Kai is. She's my sister, but she's also always been, how do you say? A bit of an asshole. But I never thought that she would, that she would want to kill me. I don't know who she is, and she has been so much a part of who I am, even when I thought she was gone.”-Fy'ra Rai

Good Tropes™

[Orders enough food for several people] and whatever you guys want

‘Sorry I’m late’ ‘You’re right on time’

Two characters having a conversation while on opposite sides of a wall/door

The hero is snooping some place they shouldn’t be and is about to get caught. The baddies enter and the room is completely empty. Bonus points if they then show the hero clinging to the ceiling

Someone turning up in the nick of time to save the heroes in a car/plane/spacecraft/etc and asking ‘need a ride?’

Someone tells a (true) story and it is later revealed they were one of the people in the story

‘Get down!’ *tackles them to the floor*

‘Hi [name]’ *immediately begins escorting them out of the door/hangs up on them* ‘bye [name]’

Character walks past a doorway and sees something strange, carries on walking for a few steps, then realises what they just saw and backs up for another look

Someone charges at another character who dodges it by calmly stepping to the side. Bonus points if the charging character carries on through a doorway

A has been delivering a monologue for quite some time and when they are finished B slowly blinks and says some variation of ‘I don’t understand a word you just said’

New character meets the Team for the first time, who are being their usual absurd/intimidating selves, and asks ‘who the hell are you people?’

Everyone has to leave the restaurant/bar/coffee shop and one character frantically tries to finish their food/drink before they go

’[Name], I presume?’

Random character discovers some important new evidence and has to race to find the other characters to tell/warn them in time

Dramatically putting up or taking off their hood

[Badass declaration]. Any questions?

That one character who is always coming up with new slang words and hoping they will catch on

‘My friends call me [nickname/shortened name]. You can call me [full name/title]’. Alternatively, ‘you may not call me anything’

A and B are together when A’s phone rings and they answer it. After a beat they hold it out for B and say ‘it’s for you’. Bonus points if the caller had no way of knowing A and B would be together. Alternatively, bonus points if B didn’t answer their own phone because they don’t want to speak to the caller, prompting them to phone A instead

B comes to A’s house and knocks on the door. When A answers it, they barge straight in and start talking, leaving A still standing at the door and prompting them to say ‘please. Come in’

Someone tries to shoot the character but misses and hits their hat or something instead, so the character gets angry and is like ‘that was my favourite hat!’

Character wants to know the time so they grab their friend’s wrist to check the watch they are wearing

Character begins speaking about a traumatic event that happened in the past and cuts themselves off to rephrase so they won’t have to say the specifics of the event eg. ‘after he - …after what he did’

After a tragic event, the token evil teammate/morally ambiguous ally starts helping the gang and becomes one of the good guys full time

"came back wrong" you could not come back wrong even if you tried. you've changed, beyond recognition, but while my eyes may not know you, my heart still does. i love you.
