#dragonwatch 3

[chameleon8]

the funny thing about being in a small fandom like Fablehaven is that I keep accidentally finding the tumblr users’ accounts on Ao3 and I’m like “wait…”

“WAIT-”

I love how Dragonwatch is literally named Dragonwatch then proceeds to spend the majority of its run time on Things That Are Not Dragons

#fablehaven #dragonwatch #notice how there is exactly One dragon in book 3 #like?? #not exactly salt more just poking fun at the name

[bobdarock]

Bracken: Unicorns are beings of truth, they never lie

Also Bracken: No, Vanessa, I totally don't like Kendra. What are you even thinking?!?!

How the fablehaven wiki editors feel after writing an article that has 52 misspellings, 19 biased opinions, 25 misremembered plot points, 7 unsourced quotes, and a completely incorrect description of a characters appearance

#this is a fablehaven wiki hate blog #if you're a fic writer dont use the wiki its so bad #just ask in one of the fablehaven discord servers and like 3 different people will give you direct quotes #- #fablehaven #dragonwatch

Little Details pt.2

Kendra-Had her parents worried she was joining a cult when they found her reading the journal of secrets. 

Seth- Put the head of a live snake in his mouth as a dare. Why? Just why? I get never denying a dare, but this seems extreme. 

Bracken- Mr. “Carelessly throws off his shirt to swim with the naiads”. Yet he claims to not want their attention? Somethings not adding up.

Warren- Never got his “Welcome back from your coma” party. This is the most unjust thing to happen in Fablehaven. 

Vanessa- I feel like people forget she tried to sacrifice Seth to Olloch. I stan her, but still. 

Tanu- Thinks planes are torture, and implied that he drugs himself on them to sleep. 

Stan-Goldilocks never liked him. Surprise no one else found this sus, I was halfway convinced he was secretly evil when I first read that part. Goldilocks is the original Bracken when it came to lie detecting. 

Ruth- Rumor within the Society has it she’s clairvoyant?

Dale- has a gift for avoiding trouble, yet somehow hasn’t applied that logic to avoiding work? 

Newel- Thinks Kendra should be in a soap opera

Doren- Battle cry of choice is “FRITO-LAY”. I mean, I’m not saying I condone it but I understand. 

Lena- I want to cry when I see paint by numbers now

Patton- Had refreshment all ready for the first couple years of the doomsday capsule wait. 

Trask- Lives in NYC? Does this imply that there is an underground magical community there?

Elise- red highlights, she is totally the person who dyes her hair frequently

Mara- I’m a bit disappointed by the lack of dragontaming women in Dragonwatch, especially when this woman was right there!

Astrids- thought Kendra destroyed the shrine at Fablehaven. Imagine if some of them still think this and it causes a huge misunderstanding that confuses everyone involved. 

Raxtus- Stalked Kendra for days trying to work up the courage to introduce himself! He’s just a shy kid. 

The Sphinx- Throws foosball games, unless against Seth then he goes into God mode.

Ronodin- I still can’t get over the fact he dated the giant queen. Weren’t there better ways to accomplish what he wanted?

Ephira- Kept a portrait of Patton and Lena up in the Old Manor. 

Hal- Flavor saver lives in my head rent free. I quote this all the time to my dad.

[arocelebrant]

hey do you remember that one time ronodin went "okay but like what WOULD happen if we nuked a dragon" so hear me out i have some guesses on what would happen if we nuked a dragon

-the explosion aspect wouldnt be. a super big deal. i think dragons scales/plating have some inherent heat resistance due to the whole. breathing fire thing -the "bombs make debris" thing being a problem is basically dependent on how maneuverable any given individual dragon is -I Think Dragons Can Get Radiation Poisoning. yeah sure theyre made of magic but theyre ALSO made of MEAT they have ORGANS and BONES!!!! you can get irradiated in those places!!! and obviously some effects would manifest differently than humans (for example i think dragon young wouldnt have the same increased risk of thyroid cancer as human young do after being exposed to fallout) but like. yanno. u COULD radiation poison a dragon -(also unicorns can cure radiation poisoning but you'd still need to decontaminate because otherwise youd just get re-irradiated)

[jackshiccup]

just finished book 3 of the httyd series and here are the many parts of it that i loved and laughed at and enjoyed (spoilers below ofc):

- fishlegs and hiccup having a wet cat moment being yelled at by gobber after the hopeful puffin sank and they had to swim to shore

- hiccup knowing how to speak impeccable french and having a 9/10 in swordfighting .. he’s Everything

- hiccup dreaming about tickling toothless and waking up laughing only to find toothless wasn’t there … what if this was my last straw ☹️

- ALVIN THE TREACHEROUS BALD . deserved

- CAMICAZI INTRODUCTION !!!! (and with an epic swordfight with hiccup too) me and the homies cheered likeeee that’s my daughter !

- toothless whispering thank you to hiccup’s ear after they reunited :(

- ‘toothless came and sat on hiccup’s head. this was a familiar ritual to both of them, as it was toothless’ usual seat when hiccup was dragonwatching at wild dragon cliff… they could sit there for hours in happy, companionable silence.’

- chapter 20: hiccup the god

- hiccup/fishlegs/camicazi adventure trio of all time me thinks

- ‘this has been a great day for the little creatures of the world’

- hiccup saying ‘dream on, sunshine’ to camicazi oh i would die for them

#these books r so much fun #i get so wistful by the time i reach the epilogues bc man hiccup is just so GOOD and so sweet and so clever #he’s also incredibly hilarious #i can’t believe he’s going thru all this shit at the ripe age of 11 😭 #httyd books #jackshiccup text #httyd book 3 #how to speak dragonese

[a-dip-in-the-source]

What if Bracken and Kendra got to work together post Dragonwatch book 3? and we left Seth's perspective to handle Titan Valley. Bracken and Kendra could be focused on trying to figure out how to help Seth + maybe taking a proactive role against Ronodin by hunting down all the demons Jubaya mentioned. Then their arc could focus on the whole sibling duality theme surrounding Ronodin/Bracken + Seth/Kendra and ends with a confrontation with Ronodin. Kendra's storyline was easily the weaker of the two in the last two books of Dragonwatch, and Ronodin could get to be a real villain for the final book as well. Then by having Seth solely focus in on Celebrant rather than the subplot(lol its the main plot but bear with me) with the Ethergem we could have a more stable plotline in book 5 that doesn't feel like its juggling to much.

I mean it just makes sense right? That the Kendra plotline should be about confronting Ronodin, the guy who is muscling in on her fairy turf and who dealt possibly the most vile blow to Kendra anyone has ever done to her in the series?

#fablehaven #dragonwatch #dragonwatchdragging #bracken the hornless unicorn #kendra sorenson #honestly I gripe a lot about book 4 and the ethergem #but I do think it and book 5 would've been perfectly fine if it weren't for how hard book 5 fumbles the ending #but this is what I thought was going to happen lmao

[thinklikeseth]

Rereading Master of the Phantom Isle (Dragonwatch book 3) and Kendra is literally breaking my heart right now. I don't care what anyone says. Seth and Kendra are closer than they appear.

"Could she tell Newel everything she felt? That her brother was more important to her than Wyrmroost? That part of her would rather all the preserves around the world fell into disarray if it meant she could have Seth back?"

Like girl I can't you're crushing my heart

[aerinsfables]

I was going through my Google docs trying to find something I’d scribbled down idk however long ago, and I stumbled across this little oneshot that I wrote some time after Dragonwatch 3 was released and before Dragonwatch 4 came out. Thought I’d share it here. I don’t know why I didn’t post it before.

Again, this was written before Dragonwatch 4 was released, so the oneshot doesn’t fit into canon (unfortunately canon took a huge nose-dive IMO).

Enjoy some sweet brackendra. ❤️

———

She sits by herself at the edge of the ocean, overlooking rocky shores and crashing waves. The air is warm and humid, but at least the breeze from the beach - if she can call it that - helps to quell the heat a little. The coarse and bumpy expanse of rock which stretches out beneath her crossed legs does nothing to help ease the ache in her heart, but at least the view and scent of the water helps to speak some minute semblance of peace to her soul.

Her thoughts turn to her brother, as they often do these days. She wonders where he is, and worries over his well being. Is he hurt? Has he had enough to eat? Is he sleeping okay? Is Ronodin still influencing him?

Kendra constantly worries about how he feels. Her brother is lost. Maybe he has an idea of where he’s headed physically, but in all other ways he is lost, and she fears for him, she wants to protect him, longs to see his smile, misses his incessant teasing, cries for his absence. Her brother has become her best friend, and the pain she feels threatens to eat her alive.

Bracken’s footsteps approach her. She briefly smiles at the thought that he’s usually so quiet when he walks that he often seems to appear out of nowhere, so if she’s hearing him now - over the noise of the waves - that must mean he’s deliberately trying to be loud in order to give her warning of his approach. He’s still quiet, which broadens her smile a bit, but the momentary amusement flees when she sees the almost cautious expression on his face.

“May I sit with you?” he asks. Kendra nods her head in response, and he takes up residence next to her on the relatively flat expanse of rock she had chosen earlier. She rests her head on her knees, her arms wrapped around her legs, and watches as he situates himself.

“The Giant Queen lives at the foothills of those mountains,” Bracken says after a moment, and points to a particular peak off in the distance. “It will probably take us the better part of a full day to walk there.”

“Aren’t we waiting for Warren and the others?”

He shakes his head. “Warren said they’ll meet us at the Queen’s fortress. She’s the caretaker of the preserve, so she fields all visitors.”

“Do you think she’ll be angry that we entered somewhere other than the front gate?” Kendra can’t believe she didn’t think about this before now; she’d just gone along with what everyone else had suggested. Go with Bracken through the Fairy Queen’s shrine to Titan Valley. We’ll meet you there. Really? She hadn’t even thought that sneaking in might be problematic?

Her brain is clearly not functioning correctly.

Bracken smiles at her. “I don’t think so,” he says. “The Giant Queen and the Fairy Queen are at peace with one another.”

Her mind is still mostly with her brother. No wonder she’s overlooked something so simple. Bracken’s attitude reassures her enough that she decides she’ll let him worry about whether or not they’ll run into trouble with the Giant Queen. She looks at him and wonders how he can be so calm all of the time. Everything is wrong. The world is upside-down and on the brink of collapse again.

Bracken is collected.

Seth is missing.

She feels weak at this moment, and she hates it, but she can’t seem to pull herself out of it. She hides her face in her knees and tries to shrink in on herself as emotion overwhelms her.

One tentative hand falls on her shoulder, and then she’s enveloped in a hug. “We’ll get him back, Kendra,” he says.

“Sure,” she replies while tears fall from her eyes. She wants to believe him, and she hopes he’s right, but doubt overrides her thoughts. Doubt and worry. So much worry.

“We will,” he states with confidence. “There was uncertainty in his demeanor. He wants to be true to himself. He wants to do what’s right, and he wants to be a true hero. He’s just trying to figure out how to be that person.”

He pauses for a moment, then continues. “If hope were lost, Kendra, then Seth wouldn’t be second-guessing himself. The mere fact that he is unsure of everything speaks volumes about the situation. Your brother is strong. He is kind, and he wants to help those who are in need. He will come back to you. He will figure out who he wants to be, and he will come back to you.”

A loud sniffle escapes her. “You don’t know that.”

“I do know that. I don’t know whether it will happen in a day, a month, or a year, but I know it.”

She knows he is trying to be kind and reassuring, but she can’t take it anymore. Thoughts flow from her mouth without filtration. “How are you always so sure of yourself?”

Her words sound more biting than she intends, but at this moment she doesn’t care. She’s confused, she’s never handled confusion well, and she’s frustrated that he’s not understanding her. How could he? He’s always so cool and collected, so self-possessed and confident. Kendra has had many wonderful moments of confidence in herself, but never so constant as Bracken, who she’s never seen waver. He makes decisions and then deals with the ramifications of those decisions gracefully. She’s never seen him lose his temper, not truly, and she’s never seen him doubt himself.

She’s envious of him in that respect.

“I know who I am,” he tells her. His tone of voice does not betray any of the emotions he may be feeling at the moment, which bothers Kendra a little more.

She sneaks a peek at him. “What is that supposed to mean?”

His expression remains impassive. She can tell that he’s pulled a careful mask over his face, and she doesn’t understand why, and it only serves to confuse her more.

“It means that you need to decide who you are, too,” he explains. His words aren’t unkind, but they also aren’t satisfying.

“I know who I am,” she replies.

“Do you?” he asks.

She narrows her gaze at him. “What do you mean?”

He bumps his folded hands against his mouth a few times and straightens up before speaking again. “You are Kendra Sorenson,” he states. “Daughter of Marla and Scott, sister of Seth. You are intelligent, honest, kind, and courageous. You are fairykind, and as such, you have the unique ability to bridge gaps between many creatures of light and humans. You are of great importance to your family, your friends, and the world at large.”

Kendra doesn’t reply. His words flatter her, but she still doesn’t understand what he’s trying to do.

“You are worthy of all of the good which comes to you in life. You deserve it. The kindness which has been shown to you, the powers you have been endowed with, the affection which is freely given to you; you deserve it all.

“The problem, Kendra, is that you don’t believe any of the things I just said. At least not all of them. Not truly. So, I ask - who are you? Who do you believe you are? Because, ultimately, what matters most is your own opinion of yourself.”

She feels her eyebrows scrunch together in her bafflement. “You think I should be… prideful?”

Bracken smiles a little, then says, “Pride and humility are opposite of each other, and the best place to be is between the two points. If you wander too far toward pride, you’ll become self-centered and vain. If you move too closely toward humility, however, you can lose your sense of self and forget your value. Neither extremity is healthy.”

She’s frustrated and she doesn’t really know why. “I’m not any more special than anyone else,” she says.

“You don’t know how special you are,” he counters. “Kendra Sorenson, handmaiden to the Fairy Queen. Kendra Sorenson, slayer of Gorgrog the Demon King. Kendra Sorenson, who treatied with the Underking. Kendra Sorenson, who has worn one of the five crowns. Kendra Sorenson, sister of Seth Sorenson, who together are the Siblings of Day and Night. Kendra Sorenson, who has solved complicated riddles and puzzles, who has bravely volunteered and sacrificed her comfort and safety in order to bring peace to the world on multiple occasions. Kendra Sorenson, who loves her family with her whole heart, who will stop what she’s doing and interrupt her routine to help someone in need. Kendra Sorenson, my personal savior twice over.

“Every time you are faced with a challenge, you find a way to rise above it,” Bracken continues. “I have no doubt - not a single one - that this challenge will result in success for you.”

He places a reassuring hand on her shoulder and looks into her eyes with such sincerity that Kendra feels her face warm. They stare at each other for several long moments, and then Kendra relaxes her body and falls into his embrace.

“Thank you,” she mumbles as tears fall from her eyes once more. She quakes, and his arms wrap around her more tightly. “Thank you.”
