courage, dear heart
Tumblr media
i wrote a thing! 
AO3 fic link: atomic blonde
fandom: Narnia/LOTR crossover | ship: Susan Pevensie/Éowyn, background Haladriel
rated: mature | tagged: crossover, canon compliant, pining, Gender Politics with Clive Staples and John Ronald Reuel, post The Horse and His Boy, bittersweet
Summary: It’s not the first time a power beyond understanding ripped Susan away from her home to fight in another world’s war. And in this strange country, she will find her courage.
Set as Frodo becomes the ringbearer, set after Susan returns from Tashbaan and the Battle of Anvard is won.
a/n: Written for @thenarniaficexchange 2023 for @syrena-of-the-lake. Is this fic just a string of references from all seven narnia books, at least five lotr books, various narnia and lotr films, a lotr tv show, Churchill’s “we shall fight on the beaches”, and Shakespeare? Maybe so.
Two canons in a blender, my favorite scene in this is when the Dark Lord Sauron comes to Queen Susan in her dreams to take her apart and finds something he didn’t expect. And my heart aches to answer an unanswered question in the fic about magicked memory loss and the Problem of Susan, perhaps in a sequel. 
Excerpt:
Her hands are dirty from drawing the circle, fingers burned from the blue fire.
The bright magic ring she wears is cold, very cold; cold as the bottom of the sea. And it sings of power, not of the flesh, but over flesh. The power of the Unseen World.
In her mouth is the language spoken before the dawn of time. Before the Deep Magic was written. Before the Sun and the Moon were made. “Call her up.”
*
It’s quite sudden – the searing sound in her ears and then a great pop – and she’s no longer riding alongside her sister in the wilds of Galma but in a strange, alien land.
She stills her horse, and is surprised to find it not the dumb Galman beast who was a pleasure to ride along the sands of the ocean, but a great stallion fit for a warrior of renown. The shabby islander saddle is now richly ornate, covered in symbols she does not recognize. The windswept sea of grass smells sweet; rich earth beneath and a warm yellow sun in the endless blue sky above. Massive forests and towering mountains in the distance, and far off to the south, clouds of smoke. No recognizable landmark of any kind.
This curious little girl from Finchley has experienced travel between worlds before, but she does not quite remember the first time. Something about a mother who loved her and a great stairwell and the numbing horror of nonstop destruction; all faded in memory and deemed unimportant, lost. She is now queen of a great country; taller than her brother, the High King, and a remarkable beauty sought by highborns across the known world. Her raven-colored hair and red lips, haunting the dreams of many. Her gracious kindness, a balm to her loving subjects once subjugated by winter and a witch.
More importantly, she still remains curious.
For she is Susan, by the gift of Aslan, by election, by prescription, and by conquest, Queen over Narnia under the High King Peter, the Lady of Cair Paravel and Protector of the River Rush, Blessed by the Radiant Southern Sun, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Lion, Daughter of Eve, the Gentle.
And this strange country, unknown to her, is Middle Earth.
*
Her magical horn came with her, tied to her belt. There is no hesitation as she raises it to her lips. Father Christmas had said “–wherever you are–,” so she blows it, calling for help in this alien place.
The full velvety sound rings out across the grassy plains, ringing up through the nearby mountains and reaching forests unknown and reaching foreign ears in their towers of stone. (Perhaps even reaching the power that brought her here.)
A rider appears in the distance. Susan narrows her eyes, considering if this is friend or foe. She only has a dagger and her wits, which may be enough.
It is a warrior with a shield on his arm. He rides a white steed and golden horse hair flows out of his helmet. He shines bright like the famed white stag and Susan feels an intense urge to chase this rider at once, to put an arrow in his heart and drag him to the ground.
To demand wishes? Perhaps. The urge is unknowable.
But no: this is no white stag, nor a magical creature of any sort.
And Susan does not yet know that this is no man.
Susan called for help, and help has arrived in the form of Éowyn, the Lady of Rohan.
*
It is a cautious meeting and neither dismount.
The rider’s gaze is appraising, obviously noting Susan’s foreign dress. There’s the uncommon length of her raven hair, adorned with the lush island flowers of Galma. The dagger and white horn at her side, and the ease in which Susan is managing a stallion. The queenly posture; a regal confidence undoubted. (This is learned behavior. Pevensies can trace their lineage to poor fishermen in East Sussex and poorer soldiers from Normandy.)
Susan’s assessment is this: the young rider is a dangerous warrior, lithe and well-knit in frame, made all the more queer with his open courtesy to a stranger.
“What country, friend, is this?” Susan asks.
The rider tilts his head. “This is Rohan, my lady.” His voice ringing out clear.
And what shall I do in Rohan? Susan thinks, miserably.
“Are you in need some assistance, my lady?” the rider continues, a look of concern in his gray eyes. A pause. “I am Dernhelm, at your service.”
*
Dernhelm listens to her tale and “strange sorcery” is his response. He thinks a moment before: “Have you experience with witches?”
Susan gives a smile, but it is a bitter one. She knows more than some about witches.
After Susan explains, Dernhelm nods. “The way I see it is this: you have appeared here through magic, for what reason, I cannot say. And you have appeared in Rohan, for what reason, I cannot say. You are no servant of the Dark Lord, there is something true and honorable about you.” He stops there for a moment before a continuing in a most peculiar tone. “The wizards have no interest in queens; what is a woman to the affairs of air and earth? So, the Lady of the Golden Wood, she must be behind this and her reasons could have promise in them.”
“The Lady?” Susan echoes quietly. There are hags that called Her “the White Lady.”
“She is a great sorceress. An elf-witch of terrible power who dwells in Dwimordene.” Dernhelm looks grave. “It is said that all who look upon her shall fall under her spell and are never seen again.”
Susan shivers, thinking of the horror of Jadis’ castle. Of Tumnus’ look of terror, frozen in stone.
Dernhelm continues. “My brother believes she is a myth, and–” he pauses as if pained by a memory unspoken. “My king’s advisor says webs of deceit were ever woven in Dwimordene.” He raises his chin, and his eyes are shining bright. “But I believe differently. There is an old, old tale of this elf-witch helping my annointed forebear, the first of our kings. I choose to believe that tale. I choose to believe that in our time of need, the Lady came to our aid. High honor to protect the king and his men, and dread magic too. And perhaps, perhaps if she is behind this, she can be reasoned with and you can return home. Should you have the courage, you seek her out.”
“Then I shall go to find this Lady of the Golden Wood,” Susan says. “If you will take me there, sir. For I do not know the way.”
The man sucks in air and holds it a moment before: “For this journey, you have my sword, your grace.”

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Thank you @theluckywizard for the tag! It's been fun to compile :3
1. how many works do you have on ao3? 6
2. what’s your total ao3 word count? 356,534 (from last October. It's higher since I haven't upload a lot of ficlets I wrote here, oops)(But! it's my AO3 birthday, yeeeeh!)
3. what fandoms do you write for? Dragon Age, there's a crossover with LOTR/Silmarillion. I don't know if I'll ever write anything solely on Tolkien lore, I tend to reason per OCs in stories and I feel slightly bad in treating other's characters as my own.
4. what are your top five fics by kudos? - Home Was Never On The Ground (CullenxLavellan, long fic)(also known as Monster Fic) - She of Many Names (CullenxLavellan, a Dragon Age and LOTR - crossover) - The Night Before First Day (Some CullenxLavellan but very on the sidelines. it's Solas acting as Santa. And it rhymes.) - One For the Road (FenrisxLavellan, Angst is over 9000, 2 chapters.) - Death and All of His Friends (HawkexMerrillxIsabela, I'll get on with it but everything is on hold because I want to get Monster fic done before the year ends)
5. do you respond to comments? Oh yes, of course! Jumping on my seat and being very happy about it. I'm wordy, so chances are that comments will be answered with more lore.
6. what’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Death and All of His Friends, right now.
7. what’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? The Night Before First Day.
8. do you get hate on fics? Not that I know of. The worst hate I got in the fandom were some assholes who commented on an adoribull fanart here on Tumblr. I didn't want to learn how to say "F*ggot" in Russian, but I did. They didn't expect me to understand and reply in Russian, and they never got back.
9. do you write smut? if so, what kind? … Tried to. I'm self-conscious about my writing, so it never got posted. I don't know if it ever will. It was just to see if I could, but for now I'd rather keep it personal.
10. do you write crossovers? what’s the craziest one you’ve written? Yes! I love making connections between things and fiction and see similarities and who inspired some others. I have She of Many Names, which is a Dragon Age with Lord of the Rings crossover. There's some Silmarillion, but as long as highlighting characters background goes. A person on Instagram commented on one artwork of my Lavellan (miss cinnamon "I cry if you tell me that there are kittens under the rain" roll) asking me if she was Sauron. I laughed so art imagining her as an evil overlady that I HAD TO write it. "It's all a big misunderstanding".
11. have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of.
12. have you ever had a fic translated? Nope.
13. have you ever co-written a fic before? I haven't, but I'd love to!
14. what’s your all-time favorite ship? You'll pry HawkexMerrillxIsabela from my cold, dead hands. HawkexFenris has the best ANGST. FaramirxEowyn. Been there since I was 10, will probably die on that hill. I see the fascination of Solavellan, but Cullavellan is there above, of course. And, MaharielxMorrigan. I am surely forgetting something, but it's one case of "I am asked what's my favourite movie and suddenly my brain thinks we never saw ONE movie in our life".
OH OH OH EnjolrasxGrantaire. I SAID IT.
15. what’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? I have another chapter half blorted down for One For the Road but I'm not feeling it. It's sliding towards a triangle and it's losing all the appeal to me.
16. what are your writing strengths? Oh shit, that's difficult ahahahahahah. As above, I'm self conscious about my prose. I'll try, tho.
Dialogue (been writing my own comics for years, those are just dialogue. I have exercise on that, ahahahah)
… angsty, emotional scenes?
People crying. watches Aisling
17. what are your writing weaknesses? Language and mispellings. English is not my first language, and as every person who speaks more than one, I have a very confused brain. I re-read my own writing again but there's always something missing. I also tend to write prose without a precise plan: I started writing fanfiction after YEARS of not writing prose after some comments that caught me in a moment when I was particularly fragile and convinced me my prose was never going to be ok. In order to ease me back into it, I started writing Monster Fic purposefully without a plan of action or a plotline not to stress myself too much and convince my brain it's just a hobby to relax. It worked, but in long fics I prefer having plans, I read it again and I think it shows that there's little planning ahead. When synthesis ability was being distributed, I was trying to pet a dog.
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? Uh, English not being my first language counts? xD Beside that: I wrote some SIMPLE lines in wannabe-Latin, some words here and there in French. If it's something long, tho, I'm against it. Personal preference, I'd rather have my readers understand what's being said if it's important, rather than showing that I know more than one language. Personal preference, I also tend not to like movies that are all done in dead languages that nobody speaks, with subtitle. Glad the writer can master ancient Latin, here's a cookie, now what.
19. first fandom you wrote for? … Inuyasha in middle school. I drew small comics for my friends over it. And, I drew a parody comic of the Iliad in my first year of high school, which is the first fandom with a COMPLETED fic.
20. favorite fic you’ve ever written? … Still with the difficult questions AHAHAHAHAHAH. These two because I got to use friends' blorbos and I was so nervous but also had the best of times: - Three Cards Trick [ Maria Hawke becomes the official third Science Sibling. They adopt a skeleton. ] - Saving Grace [ Aisling as a companion for Kerry Hawke in DA2. She refuses to pay for elfroot, but will find a way to acquire "some" from the Templars. ]
- Could be Worse. [ Mahariel, Morrigan, and Aisling becomes Ghost Hunters in modern time New York. It should have been a scam. ] I live for quotations and it set my head on fire and it's yet another modern AU I'll get back to sooner or later.
- Death and all of His Friends. [ Raina Hawke, human disaster but mildly successfull trash raccoon, fucks up royally at the end of Act 2.] Originally prompted by salsedine but I'm linking the polished AO3 version. Raina Hawke won the lottery of having issues similar to mine, and writing her has always some form of therapy. But I did it, I like the three parts, and I completed it and posted it anyway.
- Not the Years but the Mileage. [ Booby traps in the Temple of Mythal. Cullen breaks stuff that should be in a museum. ] And this one because again, quotings. Arbor Wilds (that mission is flawed, but the environment? Not.). And that piece of dialogue where Aisling can't talk and Cullen just understands her mumbling.
- Something Fishy. [ Raina and Garrett Hawke, loyal knights at the court of the Red King of Amaranthine, gets sent on a... Fishy mission.] This was probably the funniest to write, and nothing. I thrive in angst or in absurd crack fics, and this by now is my peak crack.
... I wrote for years and I hope it was remotely interesting.
TAGGING BACK: @shivunin @ndostairlyrium @heniareth @oxygenforthewicked @rosella-writes @scribbledquillz @star--nymph @zenstrike and YOU who are reading.

All your fic idea sound delightful but I’m very curious about the Magician Nephew x LOTR crossover and the Another MGME but it's just my OCs from my historical fiction novel!
Ask me about my not-yet-written-fics from this list
Okay, so:
,Magician's Nephew x LOTR crossover
It's so easy to make this work.
Jill and Diggory have magic rings that transport them to the wood between worlds. In theory, the wood contains portals to every world that has ever existed, or ever will exist, right?
So the events of the magician's nephew happen. They wake Jadis, get chased by her all the way back to the wood, and then they run for the nearest pool. And rather than it being home they run for the one that happens to be Middle Earth.
Jadis still grabs onto Digg's ankle.
(Debating on whether or not to include uncle andrew. It does involve them having to go back to England in between their trip to the dying world, and then for some reason back to the wood. Maybe the whole lampost situation happens still idk. I do just love the idea of Jadis and Uncle Andrew traipsing through Middle Earth).
I have not fully decided which age to put them in but there IS something immensely funny about Diggory and Jill wandering around Middle Earth with some magic rings.
And also for some reason Diggory and Jill end up with one ring color, and Jadis (and also potentially Uncle Andrew) wind up with the other ring color, and/or there just aren't enough rings and somebody ends up with all the green ones).
They wind up separated and traipsing around looking for each other and/or trying to separate Uncle Andrew and Jadis. I think it's best if maybe Uncle Andrew and Jadis have the green rings, but aren't willing to leave without also having the yellow ones.
Jill and Diggs wind up in Rivendell (obviously I MUST include Elrond) and give everyone a heart attack because they have a funny little yellow ring that absolutely rubs Vilya the wrong way and doesn't match any Music in middle earth. Meanwhile apparently according to them there are Some Very Dangerous People wandering around with another set of weird magic rings.
I want Jadis to decide that she absolutely wants to be queen of Middle Earth and to try very hard to launch a campaign for it.
Also want Jadis to find out that there are other magical objects and to try and collect them all like Pokemon, and to be a royal pain in EVERYONE'S (including Sauron's) ass.
Anyway that's it that's the idea.
MGME But It's Just My OCs From My Hisfic Novel
okay to make this make sense you gotta understand that within the actual history post the book I wrote, two of the main characters get killed.
(the book is set during the very last year of the nine years' war in Ireland, where Hugh O'Neill, High King of Ireland and Chieftain of Ulster fought against the colonizing English army. He had convinced Spain to help him (Catholics vs Protestants), but the Spanish pulled out and Baron Mountjoy (British occupation) essential starved the Irish out by burning all their crops, and eventually Hugh signed a treaty after one final stand in Ulster. Baron Mountjoy smashed the stone of kings, where all the High Kings of Ireland had been crowned for thousands of years, and formally began the occupation, moving British colonizers in to take over the farmland in Ulster and press the Irish into serfdom.
ANYWAY. So that's the background. Later Hugh and his ally Rory O'Donnell go to Spain to try and muster up some more help, but they wind up actually getting sick and dying during the trip.
So my OCs are Hugh's wife and daughter. (Hugh was, historically, a terrible husband and I am an absolute slut for messy toxic dynamics). The OC winds up with Rory in the end bc he was historically a Really Cool Guy.
So naturally, instead of them dying later I'm like 'haha what if they just got transported to Middle Earth'.
I have not thought this through very hard but I would obviously like the Classic 'they wind up in Rivendell' because again, Elrond, obviously obviously.
Mostly SOL but I could also see Rory and Hugh going "oh, there's another colonizer who wants to destroy the free people of THIS land??? Fuck him. We're absolutely joining that fight."
I could see this being set in the second age actually during the first founding of Rivendell (and so Rory and Hugh and up in TLA) but I could also see them at Pelennor in the TA, but unfortunately that means that my OC mom doesn't get to meet Cel :( And I want them to be friends. They would get along so well.
Elrond, of course, parents both OCs (even though one of them is a grown ass mom) because I want him to. Also he hisses at Hugh. Because he's trash.
Alternatively they could wind up sometime in the early third age and join the war against Angmar and then we still get Cel. I'm not picky.
This one is more vague and I mostly daydream about SOL situations of my OCs in Rivendell but there's definitely A Plot in there somewhere.

I only RP on Discord. 21+ peas and ques.
About me: Izzy, She/they, 23 I'm looking for people who can write 2-5 paragraphs using functional grammar. I'm not looking for perfect I just gotta know what you're saying. I only write in the third person and ask that you do the same when writing with me. I work full-time in the school system (yikes I know) and I'm also a college student (double yikes) SO response times may vary. I try to respond daily but sometimes life gets extra lifey and it's once a week. Please do not bug me for responses that being said I am more than happy to have some OOC chit-chat in the meantime. In fact, I love OOC chit-chatting with my RP buddies. Tell me about the books your reading, yummy food, movies or tv shows you're watching. Rec some music. Share the cute fur babies. Seriously I love it and totally do think of my RP partners as friends. By all means, if this isn't your thing tell me to piss off. That's fine. OK Back on track. Plots: I love to write romance, slice of life, action, mystery, adventure, hurt/comfort, crack, fluff, angst, spice. Like all of the things blended into one. I like to have a dynamic plot loosely figured out and then just continue to build on it as we develop characters and their dynamics. I write both OCxCC and CCxCC NO OCXOC sorry! Fandoms I write for are:
Marvel (MCU and Comics): I’m open to OCxCC, CCxCC, ABO, and Poly in this one I love world-building and meshing MCU canon with comic Canon and our own idea’s as well. If we’re doing CCXCC I do have a preference of M/M pairings but I am open to some M/F and F/F and other paring combinations.
Harry Potter (Marauders Era after graduation only): I’m open OCxCC and CCXCC I adore world-building for this one and bending Canon to fit our liking. I do also prefer to have multiple characters and moving parts in these plots in the background.
Criminal Minds: I’m open OCxCC, CCXCC. ABO and Poly ship here as well. I like to have a nice blend of slice of life and other things with a little bit of casework. Basically the reverse to what the show gave us.
Supernatural: I’m just looking for OCxCC here uhmm it’s been a hot minute since I’ve roleplayed this fandom. I think I’ve seen up to season ten for sure? I am planning on finishing it soon. I think my OC would pair up nicely with Dean or Cas but I’m open to your suggestions as well.
Some other less common fandoms I write are: WWE Yellowstone 911 Lonestar LOTR/Hobbit Almighty Johnsons 
Marvel Ships Storm/T'challa Steve Rogers/Wolverine S teve Rogers/Tony Stark Steve Rogers/Clint Barton Steve Rogers/Peggy Carter Steve Rogers/Natasha Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson Sam Wilson/ Rhodey Sam Wilson/Clint Barton Sam Wilson/Monica Rambue Sam Wilson/ Bucky Barnes Sam Wilson/ T'challa Sam Wilson/Natasha Natasha/Tony Stark Natasha/Matt Murdock Natasha/Bucky Barnes Bucky Barnes/Clint Barton Clint Barton/Bobbi Morse Clint Barton/ Thor Clint Barton/ Phil Coulson Clint Barton/Scott Lang Clint Barton/ Matt Murdock Clint Barton/ Jessica Drew Clint Barton/ Tony Stark Tony/Rhodey Rhodey/Carol Danvers T'Challa/Okoye Okoye/M'baku Polyvengers Criminal Minds Ships Hotch/Emily Hotch/Rossi Hotch/Morgan Morgan/Garcia Morgan/Emily Morgan/Reid Reid/Emily Reid/Rossi Reid/Luke Emily/Tara Emily/Rossi Harry Potter Ships Remus/Sirius James/Lily Remus/Dorcas Meadows Sirius/ Marlene McKinnon Bill/Flure Alice/Frank Longbottom Charlie/Tonks Bill/Tonks Remus/Tonks Crossovers I would be interested in writing. Marvel/Criminal Minds Marvel/Hobbit Marvel/Supernatural Criminal Minds/911 Lonestar Criminal Minds/WWE Other Fun stuff to know I love making playlists, mood boards, Pinterest boards, and just all of the things for RP's, ships, and characters. I'm a menace honestly. If you'd like feel free to message me here or on Discord. Discord: noneherself

20 questions for fic writers
Took me forever to answer but here I am! I was tagged by @echo-bleu
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
36 on my main pseud, the rest being either translations or old stuff I archived from Wattpad.
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
89,808 words... How? I write mostly one shots, where do all these words come from?
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Currently the Silmarillion and LOTR, but I dabbed into the Hobbit fandom and Six of Crows when I first made my AO3account
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Elflings don't grow in a garden (usually) (Silm/LOTR)
Change of the Seasons (Hobbit)
Once upon aDecember in Ravka (Six of Crows)
An unlikely friendship (LOTR)
An ever-growing family (Silm/LOTR)
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yes, even if it’s only an emoji and it takes me ages.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Dreams of Doom. It follows Niënor from the moment she arrives in Brethil to her death so, yeah, canon is not kind to her. But I think Náro isn’t far behind because I played with the contrast between a very soft start and an angsty ending to make it even more brutal.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I dont' know... Most of my fics have either a very fluffy ending or a bittersweet one so it's hard to decide. But after pondering the question I'm going to say Ice Age(s) which is bittersweet but the end is definitely very fun and promising for the characters
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Luckily never.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Nope. I wrote a few scenes with implied/vague sexual content in Dreams of Doom but it’s not smut.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I dont' write crossovers. Anymore. I wrote a few super whacky Percy Jackson-Harry Potter crossovers when I was 13 and had just discovered fanfiction.
But in my curred era of writing, the closes thing I have to a crossover is my forever WIP A Season in Alqualondë which is a Regency Au, Jane Austen style Silm fic.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, but I translated two (one is currently still being translated but I dont' have the brain to work on it often)
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Never, and I don’t think I’ll do it. I’m terrible at working with someone else.
14. What's your all time favorite ship?
Éowyn x Faramir and Celebrían x Elrond
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Tori daughter of Nori, a Hobbit fic where Nori finds an abandoned elfling during his wanderings and adopts her. I have lots of notes and even a few scenes written for this fic but I just don't have inspiration for it anymore.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Making people feel things? I also really like roccuring images and metaphors thoughout the story, to emphasis the characters' feelings or background. From several comments I know I am good at writing very strong contrast between the softest scene and the angstiest angst in a few sentences/paragraphs X) (see Náro or Dreams of Doom)
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Verb tenses. English isn't my first language so I admit to go a bit freestyle regarding verbs and sometimes even sentence structure. I also find writing dialogs quite difficult and always fear they'll come out as stilted and artificial, hence why I make the characters speak as little as possible (Tolkien did that, I am only trying to emulate his style XD)
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
As said above, dialogues aren't one of my stengths so I try not to incorporate another language unless absolutely necessary to the story.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Percy Jackson, on Wattpad, nearly a decade ago.
20. Favourite fic you've written?
Ask me to choose my favourite child! But if I have to pick the one I am the most proud of, the one I spent most time and research and went really out of my comfort zone to write, it's clearly Dreams of Doom. I feel that, in terms of writing angst and character developement this fic is a turning point in my style.
And since I'm so late I don't tag anyone

For the trope ask:
Kidnapped Stephen Strange (😅 jk)
AU Fantasy (characters turned into dragons or set in a fantasy world for example)
Hahahah. That's too easy.
AU Fantasy is interesting. Hmm. I'm considering it as the world itself rather than shapeshifting into a dragon since that's basically the same as a cat or dog or something--unless it's in a medieval-like world, which is, well, AU fantasy anyway xD
Solid C
It wasn't something I read in LOTR since, well, duh. I first encountered it in Sherlock and I found some good ones, some eh ones, and some "ah this is tripe" ones. Basically same deal with the MCU.
Basically a good author can sell it really well, and a mediocre author will remain mediocre or outright bad. Fantasy AUs require some world building, but keeping the character the core of what makes them them can be difficult in AU settings.
A big reason I don't like AUs like Dark AUs or Mafia AUs or something similar is that in order for it to work, the author usually has to change core aspects about the character's personality to make it work. In the MCU, I like the characters not because they're played by Benedict Cumberbatch or Robert Downey Jr or Tom Hiddleston or what have you, but because I like the characters for who they are. I like their personalities, and a core part of their personalities is their morality. Some AUs that are in the darker spheres have to completely contort these personalities because that's the nature of the AU. But in my head, they're not the character anymore; they're just wearing the character's name and appearance.
Some really, really talented authors can make the Dark AU work by showing the descent into darkness. A really excellent example of this is The Price of Ambition by technetium43 which has a couple versions of Stephen and shows excellent, excellent paths into how they came into the way they came to be. I think for a Dark version of a character to work (that isn't established in canon), it's an author's job to show us how this happened. It's something I also attempted to do in my Earth-197320 series, which also has multiple Stephens, one less good than the other. Whether I accomplish this successfully is up to the reader.
But you're not asking about Dark AU, you're asking about Fantasy. The reason I brought up those other AUs is that Fantasy AUs often have a difficult time keeping a character's personality consistent, at least moreso than in the home universe. Because of this, the character often doesn't feel like the character that I fell in love with due to his character traits, and so I find the story less interesting. If the author can build another background that can keep those traits and it make sense, I'm more likely to enjoy the story. If they have a good plot to accompany it, all the better.
I know both Imagined and FriendlyNeighborhoodFangirls created multi-chapter fantasy AUs 3-5 years ago that had solid world-building and well-characterized Stephen Stranges, if you're looking for recommendations. Should be easy enough to find in their profiles. I'm also open to recs as I may have very well missed some as I don't go looking for the trope. I did try to RP it on Discord one time but it didn't go anywhere, haha.
The closest I've gone into the trope is my LOTR/MCU crossover and that's probably as close as I'll ever get to it. (Funny story - one of my latest reviews on that fic was actually on fanfiction.net as I was still posting there when I wrote this, and it was like a Good Reads review which was just hilarious to me. They didn't like it, but that's okay cuz I didn't write it for them, I wrote it for me. My Strange is still rough in this one though; I was still getting his character down while writing it and I think a bit too much Sherlock slipped in from time to time.)
Yeah, a lot of this is off topic and long, but would you expect anything less from me?
Original: Ask me to grade a trope.

📓 <- feel free to ramble about it as much as you want :)
Okay this is very specific to me and my love of schlocky 80's fantasy, and like to be honest I haven't actually read the original LOTR trilogy, but I grew up with the movies, but I've had this fic floating in the back of my mind that's basically a tavern that specifically serves as a little fantasy crossover setting. So this would kind of focus on Elric and Moonglum meeting with other fantasy characters because . So like, the first one would basically be Moonglum of Elwher and Samwise Gamgee having a pint together while Elric and Frodo are both recuperating upstairs in sickly, recuperative, consumptive states, and Sam being like, "Wow, you guys have a codependency problem."
Another ficlet which would be EXTREMELY niche to me would be Elric and Moonglum meeting Tiger and Del from the Sword-Dancer series, because that series has the whole "Soul-Drinking sword mechanic" as well, and Del and Elric would both be total edgelords at each others' throats while Moonglum and Tiger would just be chugging beers in the background.

Hii 😊 I'm new to your blog and extremely nosy so can I ask who are your fav dwarves? And lotr characters? Also just randomly do you have a fav middle earth location? (Mine is anywhere where boromir is hahaa and the shire)
I can't really pick a fav dwarf myself, they come as a set 🤣 but like if I had to pick strictly on attractiveness 👀fili lol no joke would marry him tomorrow if I could even if it was only for one day and then smaug incinerated me
Do you have any ships or crossover ships for the erebor gang? I don't really care for ships cuz I have a hard time visualising my fav with anyone that isn't me 😂 but, and listen I don't really know why, but I somewhat ship Captain Jack Sparrow and Kili.
The mere idea of Kili dandering on into the lonely mountain while Jack stumbles in after him like a drunk deer not used to solid ground, eyeing all the gold and poor Kili having to try introduce him to Thorin and Dis, Thorin so not approving bcuz Jack's probably got his pockets full of stuff that isn't his and Thorin can smell trouble and Jack fckin reeks of it, and Gandalf in the background almost dying on his pipe smoke because so help all of Middle Earth if he has to babysit those two complete morons. And y'know Kili aboard the black pearl during a storm absolutely entirely drowned on the deck ngl he'd make a pretty pirate. Ultimately I don't think they'd actually work cuz I can't see Jack wanting life on land and Kili would miss the dwarves and the mountains but its a fun almost ship
Anyways my lady apologies for my intrusion of your ask box and all the nonsense I've just left there but I cannot get the hobbit/potc out of my brain of recent, as mentally banjaxed as it is I have spent the past three days straight (it's been way longer than that shhh) imagining that I'm part of the company and Fili's wife 😅
woah, hello there and welcome to my blog! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying yourself :)
as far as my favorites of the dwarves go, I absolutely adore kíli, fíli, bofur and nori!! they're all amazing and I love the deeper look the production vlogs give you for them <3 I'm also a big fan of Frodo in particular, he's so surreal as a tortured character and I love his character arc throughout the movies.
if I could go anywhere in all of middle-earth, I'd definitely have to say Erebor and Rivendell. they're just absolutely stunning locations and I would do anything for the chance to witness such splendor! the shire is also a personal favorite of mine :)
as far as ships with the Erebor gang, I love Thorin and Bilbo. despite Martin Freeman not liking fans seeing queerness with his characters, he ironically plays queerness very well. though I'm not really crazy about crossover ships if I'm being honest, but definitely more power to those that adore them.
also, just a quick note that I'm not a lady! but I'm so glad you seem to be enjoying my work and my blog and it's always lovely to chat with those that enjoy things in common interest <3 daydreaming really comes in clutch when you wanna imagine marrying your favorite dwarf :)

Blog Overview
Purpose:
I am making this new sideblog where I don’t feel the need to thoroughly tag everything so that I will actually reblog all the great fandom content I’ve been liking.
Under the cut is more background on why I’m making this blog and also a list of fandoms with abbreviated tags for them I intend to use.
(….will insert cut here, can’t currently figure out how to from phone)
Background:
I tend to not reblog fandom things on my other blogs because I feel the need to tag them “properly”, but I rarely have the mental energy to tag them thoroughly (especially bc tumblr mobile has been bad at remembering frequently used tags for a long time), so I end up mentally stuck and not reblogging. Also, because I used to do specific sideblogs for specific fandoms because I don’t like putting too much specific fandom stuff on my main, so this blog will be for all my multifandom stuff. Couldn’t really think of a good url but I’m mainly into sci fi & fantasy stuff, so yeah.
Tagging:
If I make any original posts then I will tag those more thoroughly. I won’t tag specific characters at all when reblogging.
I will tag fandoms using abbreviations as follows:
Main Fandoms
SW = Star Wars
DC = DC comics (mostly batfam, but won’t tag specifics)
DP = Danny Phantom
DP x DC = DC & Danny Phantom crossover (may not always tag this one but will attempt to)
ATLA = avatar the last airbender or legend of korra
Good Omens (won’t abbreviate this one, is already pretty short and GO isn’t a very recognizable abbreviation)
RR = books by Rick Riordan (I will tag this one, whether or not I tag more specific series will vary; if there’s a new book I will tag more specifically bc spoilers)
PJO = Percy Jackson & the Olympians (I’ll use this one often; this will also include HOO, I won’t tag that one separately)
TOA = Trials of Apollo
MCGA = Magnus Chase & the Gods of Asgard
TKC = The Kane Chronicles
[I do have a side blog for PJO/RR content ( @artemis-the-aroace ) but it’s kinda dead….even when I tried and actually made original posts it never had much follower interaction so I became unmotivated to post]
Other Fandoms:
LOTR = lord of the rings & other Tolkien
DW = Doctor Who
ST = Star Trek
D&D = Dungeons & Dragons (though I’m more likely to post this on my main blog)
AC = Animal Crossing
BOTW = Legend of Zelda/Breath of the wild (bc BOTW is only one I’ve played, but also would include generic Link posts etc)
Marvel = Marvel
HP = Harry Potter

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Tagged by: @traveleorzea, thank you so much!
1. How many works do you have on ao3?
43 works so far, wow!
2. What’s your total ao3 word count?
207,031 words!
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Currently, I'm writing for my current obsession, Final Fnatasy 14 as well as working on my last fanfic for GW2 as I've long since began leaving the game behind after finishing EoD.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Gold Amidst Snow (MDZS), Inquiry (MDZS), Never Envy (MDZS), Flight (SVSSS), Dream Walker (MDZS) As you can see, I was really into MoXiang TongXiu's works in the past and while I still love them with all my heart, I've taken a break from them to enjoy other works!
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yep! I try my best to reply as much as I can <3
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Earth Is My Body and Water Is My Blood (MDZS) because I kept it canon-compliant, which is bad for the character as she happened to be a minor villain in the story. It was interesting exploring what might have been going on and somehow recasting the light on her to be far more sympathetic than the original story portrayed her to be.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Definitely Is That a Hat in Your Pants or Are You Just Happy to See Me? (GW2) the rediculous name and the fact it's from the POV of Rama (my love, my king, my everything) who is characteristically somewhat of a dork makes for a cute and lovely ending!
8. Do you get hate on fic?
Not at all, thankfully!
9. Do you write smut?
I tried but writing it is just too hard, so I gave up lol
10. Do you write crossovers?
Yes!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Nope, and I hope it stays that way.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes, someone had asked to make a Russian translation of Gold Amidst Snow and I saw no reason to deny it.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope, I don't know how one would go about co-writing a fanfic, I never tried before, but it looks fun!
14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?
I will always melt for some good ol' Bagginshield! The Hobbit featured greatly and I blame Bilbo and Thorin for making me fond of people going from disliking each other to loving each other!
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but probably won’t?
In Sun and Rain (LOTR) mostly because I have no ideas on how to approach it and am mainly using it as a way to experiment with simpler and more slice of life type stories.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Descriptions, I can describe places and people, how things work, and how a person ticks. If it needs describing I can probably do it.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Dialogue, I know a character and I can trace their wants and desires but I never know how they want to speak. Their voices take a while to find and only after writing them for a while. It's a pain considering I love exploring character relationships.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I love foreign language phrases in fic, it feels so natural for me, probably because I come from a background where it's usual to hear someone switch language as they go about their day. With that said, the best way I've seen it executed is by having hover translations like in the amazing @noverturemusings fanfictions!
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Hahaha, Transformers. It was a weird Humanoid AU where a girl isekai's into a female Starscream. Good times, good times!
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Hands down, it has to be Is That a Hat in Your Pants or Are You Just Happy to See Me? I had so much fun writing from Rama's POV and I like to go back and reread it when I have a bad day, it's my comfort fic!
Tagging: Well, whoever wishes to answer this really, no pressure!

MASTERLIST OF YOUR’S TRULY
[some stories and such for my own original characters within various fictional universes such as star wars, marvel, lotr & others; others are fics focusing on canon characters. not all of these are on here, so i thought i’d make this and attach links just in case someone wants to read them :)]
ao3 account
1. STAY WITH ME, MY BLOOD Masterlist
summary: A DPxDC crossover AU where Danny and Athanasia are twins, Damian is their little brother, and Danny was adopted by the Fentons at age ten.
2. TAKE THE FEAR THAT I DON’T NEED Masterlist
summary: A Star Wars fix-it AU series that mainly focuses on my abundance of original characters while the actual fix-it happens in the background.
3. WITH FIRE AND LIGHT Masterlist [coming soon]
summary: The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings AUs involving an original character as the main character in each story.
4. LIFE’S A GREAT BIG BANG UP SERIES | AO3 Link
summary: Peter Parker gets sent to Gotham City in one last attempt by Doctor Strange to keep the multiverse from destroying New York City. It takes time, but he soon gains friends and family once again – including a living variant of his dad.
5. FAMILY ABOVE ALL ELSE SERIES | AO3 Link
summary: Stories of found families – both in the ‘long lost family member’ sense and the ‘a bunch of semi-responsible heroes and vigilantes band together’ sense, but also the ‘dumb teen friend groups’ sense – that will mostly focus on my original character, Alisa Barnes, and Peter Parker as they struggle through life.
6. AMATEURS AT WAR SERIES | AO3 Link
summary: The Voltron Lions can actually form into real lions, the team’s bond grows closer and closer, Lance and Keith gradually fall in love, and the Galra Empire attempt to steal the Lions time and time again. Just the usual in an intergalactic war against an evil alien race.
7. MISCELLANEOUS STUFF
Snippet of an original LOZ AU / OC Aesthetic for Alisa /

✨Self-Rec Tag Game ✨
Thank you very much @shivunin! ✨✨✨
Rules: Share five of your own fanworks (fic, art, etc.). Then, tag five more people to share the things they've made. e.g.: 1. Something you absolutely adore 2. Something that was challenging to create 3. Something that makes you laugh (or smile, if that fits more comfortably) 4. Something that surprised you (in how it turned out, how much other people liked it, etc.) 5. Something you want other people to see
Soooo... I'm actually one of those people who can't just tell you ONE favourite thing. If you ask me about my favourite movie, I'll shorten the list to ten and will cry because I left something I love outside. Oops, I guess.
And I also really love colour coordination. 🌈
1. Something I absolutely adore.
I don't absolutely adore any of my works ahahahahahahah.
Beside some self-deprecation, I'm still very please with this fanart of Aisling and Dorian looking outside the window.
I know you don't appreciate much Crossovers, Mo and way too many people around, but the chance to put together two things I love... I would never tackle fanfiction if I didn't have something mine to put it (that's why I started writing fic with Dragon Age, which is based on the "Create your own character" basic), so this was my chance at tackling Tolkien lore which I absolutely adore and has been part of my life ever since I was a little bean.
There's also a fic which is basically LOTR... But with Dragon Age Characters (taking advantage of the fact that in the book nothing much is seen of Mordor... I slipped everyone there and I promise it makes more sense x°D)
2. Something that was challenging to create
Everything concerning Raina, which you can now find in this convenient folder I'll fill little by little on AO3.
I... Accidentally tackled too many things that strikes close to home with her, and writing her is basically something similar to a therapy session. The current thing I'm working on is proving difficult.
But I'll say this official portrait of her, just for the fact that I tried a new way of colouring (thanks to @ndostairlyrium forever and ever for the tips and tricks) and everything was new and challenging. The amount of times I cursed myself for putting a background! xD
3. Something that makes you laugh
You see, Mo, I am very unable to choose just one thing. If you ask me what's my favourite movie, I can shorten my list to 10. I'll give you three.
The Bi Cullen series. I should do another one, I just have to finish it, but this is close to my heart. Because bi panic and science bros.
This little exploration in the Mythal Temple, full with very necessary Indiana Jones and Emperor's New Groove quotes.
And last but not least, the one and only Haunting Queen, Doris the Rage Demon who lives in Cullen and Aisling's stove and is deeply in love with Cullen... And also very jealous. It's jealousy, it's not Aisling that doesn't know how to cook.
4. Something that surprised you (in how it turned out, how much other people liked it, etc.)
Ok, for this I have 2:
Home Was Never on the Ground aka the Monster fic. It's my first attempt at fanfiction and the first prose I had written in YEARS. I thought of an anthology of moments missed in game, or expansions of scenes I liked. I am honestly surprised by the amount of hits it got and even if I see flaws, I like my baby.
One for the Road. Aka. Fenris/Lavellan 2 chapter fic. I wrote it as a divertissement, it ended up to be extra angsty... And I sincerely thought I had totally misinterpreted Fenris here. I remember being so nervous when posting it that I actually considered keeping it for myself. And instead, it was received well?
5. Something you want other people to see
On this I'm more sure! (well.)
My little joy is the DadWolf AU which you can find here. Basically, a Modern AU following the events of DA2 and Inquisition... With something changed.
Namely, Solas woke up 30 years before, and he and Varric were roommates. And they co-parent my Inquisitor, Aisling, and Dorian who are actually science bros. It's something that brings me joy in doing, there's nothing written as per yet save some prompts but it will be!
Also one fanart I'm very very attached to is this one which was done in collaboration with @ndostairlyrium (I drew it, she coloured it), and which now guards me from my wall when I work in my studio.
In case you all were still wondering yes, I'm wordy. I know it's a surprise.
I reckon that I forgot to tag, OOPS. @rosella-writes @oxygenforthewicked @cullenvhenan @cao-the-dreamer @transprincecaspian and for the rest I think everyone was already tagged...? Send me a word if you were not and would like to!
