Winner Takes All

@lar-mx asked @howlingday -- "dumb idea 2, nora dies for a pancake… she comes back a week later telling jaune that he has to play a poker game against god or else they will both die (in nora's case again), jaune tries to lose but the lady of fortune shouts: (I didn't keep you alive so you would surrender to that bitch (the god of light))."

I'M SO SORRY!!! I CAN'T RESIST!!!

/==/

Jaune stood in the small cemetery that was part of Beacon's grounds. A quiet and peaceful place reserved for those students that didn't have a family to take possession of their remains.

Jaune: *sniffling* Nora, how could you leave us? Ren is just not himself anymore... and Pyrrha has lost her smile... it's just so senseless... a pancake... it shouldn't have...

Nora: JAUNE-JAUNE!

Jaune whips about and sees a slightly pale Nora looking at him with a bright smile.

Jaune: *VERY UNMANLY SCREAM OF TERROR*

Nora: Why is everyone doing that?

Jaune: No... Nora? How? You're...

Nora: Yeah, yeah. I'm dead... or was!

Jaune: Was?

Nora: I... well... um...

Jaune: *eyes narrow* What did you do?

Nora: I convinced an otherworldly being to resurrect me... yeah, just that, only that?

Jaune: *raises an eyebrow while crossing his arms over his chest* Really?

Nora: Really.

Jaune: What's the catch?

Nora: Someone has to play them in a game to make this stick!

Jaune: Is that it? *sees that Nora is fidgeting* Nora...

Nora: Well the thing is...

Jaune: I'm waiting.

Nora: Someone has to play and WIN to grant me my complete resurrection... but if they lose...

Jaune: If they lose...

Nora: They also die? *unleashes a Ruby-esque set of Puppy-Dog eyes* I'm sorry?

Jaune: *sighing and shaking his head* Nora... which being is it?

Nora: It's... hey, you're taking this whole thing rather well, the scream not withstanding. How is that possible? Pyrrha fainted and Ren just... sat there, ignoring me.

Jaune: This is not the first time...

Nora: What now?

Jaune: Nothing. So which entity is it?

Nora: The Brother of Light.

Jaune: Okay... wait! Did you just come to me because Pyr and Ren wouldn't do it?

Nora: Well... I did say Pyr-Pyr fainted, and well Rennie is not in a good place.

Jaune: So I'm your THIRD choice.

Nora: Sorry.

Jaune: Fine. When is this supposed to happen?

Nora: You'll do it?

Jaune: Of course. To get you back, I would do just about anything.

Nora: That's SO sweet of you!

Jaune: So wh...

Brother of Light (BoL): How about now... Mr Arc.

Jaune: *sighs and shakes his head* Fine.

Jaune (With Nora hovering at his shoulder) : B4

BoL: *grumbling* Hit... you sunk my battleship.

Jaune: Well that's it, I won so....

BoL: Best of THREE!

Jaune/Nora: That wasn't the...

BoL: BEST. OF. THREE.

Jaune snorts and gives the Brother of Light the stink-eye, while Nora pouts.

BoL: *Looking at his hand, showing a pair of queens and a pair of nines* I call *pushes all his chips into the centre of the table*

Jaune sighs, and pulls out of his stack just enough to cover the bet.

BoL: Read 'em weep... two pair, queen's high.

Jaune: Not bad... *Jaune lays down his hand* Full house... Aces over Kings.

BoL: How?

Jaune: Just lucky... now that's two wins to one...

BoL: BEST OF FIVE!

Nora/Jaune: What? No!

BoL: Are you...

????: That's enough of that. You lost... pay up.

BoL: Fate? What are you... NO! That's cheating!

Fate: Cheating? Who me? Why would I do such a thing? Just because the Arc's are descendants...

BoL: But she... she...

Fate: You made the deal...

BoL: Fine *crosses his arms over his chest and pouts*

Nora: Is it over? Do I get to stay alive?

Fate: Yes my dear. My beloved Jaune has won you.

Nora: Thank you! *Hugs Jaune and places a kiss on his cheek* Thank You! I get to live again! I can be with Renn....

Fate: Ah Ah Ah. That's not how it works.

Nora: What?

Jaune: No... no... no... I don't need...

Fate: Hush now, dear. You see Ms Valkyrie, or can I call you Nora? I would prefer Nora, as you'll be part of the family soon.

Nora: Say what now?

Fate: Jaune won you back from the after-life... do you contest that?

Jaune: No.

Fate: And do you understand the implications of such an action?

Nora: Umm... no?

Fate: It's like this...

Jaune: *cutting off Fate* It's like this... I won so I now own your soul, which means you are mine until the...

Nora: Jaune?

Fate: Tell her.

Jaune: We are bonded together... *sighs and rubs the back of his neck* ... until the end of time.

Nora: What? How? I don't...

Fate: You and Jaune are now ... for the lack of a better term or concept... husband and wife... in the cosmic sense... didn't Jaune warn you?

Nora: I... *eyes narrow* No he didn't.

Jaune: Oops... My Bad?

heart, body, and soul

ship: valkyrie x reader

summary/request: you come back from a trip and your king gives you the welcome home you deserve.

word count: 1.4k

warnings: smut (18+ only), vaginal sex (reader receiving), strap-ons, dirty talk, pet names (my queen, teasing use of housewife), light daddy kink, mentions of oral on a strap, squirting

masterlist | ao3 link

You flinch as your hand comes in contact with the ice cold water, grumbling to yourself about how slow the water heater is. Normally, you don't let the dishes stack up in the sink this much, but it seems since you were away for a couple of days visiting Kate, your beloved wife hasn't touched them.

Not that you expected her to. Or even wanted her to. Being the King of Asgard left little room in her brain for menial chores (though, you're pretty sure she never did them before anyway). You were more than happy to play the part of Valkyrie's little housewife.

Almost as if your thoughts about her bad eating habits summoned her, the heavy wooden door swings open. You don't look up from the plate you're scrubbing, simply offering a, "Hello, your majesty."

"That's all I get, huh?" Valkyrie feigns disappointment. "Spend all week without me and you're not jumping into my arms the second I step in the door? Even the King gets no respect around here."

"Maybe if I didn't have to scrub all your dirty dishes, I could've run to you like a lovesick housewife," you laugh when her heavy footsteps are followed by her arms wrapping around your body, peppering kisses into the space between your neck and shoulder.

"Fair point. And besides, you are a gorgeous little housewife," Valkyrie hums into your ear, places a gentle kiss behind it. "Missed you, bug."

"Missed you, too."

You send Val away to change into something comfier than her beautifully tailored suit while you finish up. She joins you on the couch once she's done, jumping over the back of it like she always does. She laughs at the squeak you let out before pulling you into her lap, hands resting on your hips while your hands come up to cup her face.

As wonderful as seeing her in all of her suits is, you're truly obsessed with her casual wear. Today's choice is a faded sweatshirt from a bookstore that you frequented in college - Val is always stealing your things - and basketball shorts that she's worn so much the elastic is starting to give.

"How was your meeting? You didn't break the door when you came in so I assume that's a good sign."

"Pretty standard stuff today. I was pretty distracted though."

"Oh?" You quirk your eyebrow up at her as you feel her hands start edging along the waistband of your leggings. "Thinking about Thor visiting next week?"

"No, I was thinking about a different eager puppy, actually." Val kisses you, leading a trail down to your neck with her lips. She grabs your ass roughly as she mumbles against your skin, "Was countin' the minutes until I could come home to see my queen."

You bite your lip as she continues to grope you, your hips lurching forward so you can feel the distinct bulge in her shorts.

"Nothing's better than comin' home and having the first thing I see be this sweet ass in these fuckin' leggings. You drive me crazy, I swear I just wanna..." The sharp sound of fabric tearing fills the room, and your mouth hangs open in shock. "...rip 'em open."

"Val! Those were expensive!"

"Oh, baby, I'll buy you new ones. I'll buy you as many as I tear through, plus extras so I can rip those open too. Besides," she hums as she opens the tear more and strokes her fingertips against your bare cunt. "If they didn't want me to tear 'em, they should've made 'em a bit stronger."

The snarky comment dies in your throat as she pushes into you with two fingers, fluttering them as your walls tighten around her. She starts making a comment about how wet you are already, but you cut her off by pushing your lips against hers, moaning into her mouth the way you know drives her crazy.

You’re embarrassingly on edge much faster than you’d like to admit (you blame the fact that you’ve been without Val for almost a week, and when the two of you were together you were both insatiable), but Valkyrie doesn’t let you have that release so easily. She curls her fingers against your sweet spot once more before removing them from your pussy with a wet noise. She gives you that loving, mischievous grin as she holds her fingers up to your face, and you immediately know what she wants. You give them a little kitten lick before wrapping your lips around them, groaning as you taste yourself.

“‘You make it so hard to decide which hole of yours I wanna fill,” Val says with much more tenderness than that comment warrants. “As much as I wanna make you gag-” She thrusts hard into your mouth as she says it, reveling in the way you choke on her fingers. “-on my cock, I need to be inside that tight cunt so fucking bad.”

“P’ease,” you mumble around her.

“Yeah?” Her fingers leave your mouth, and the toy between her legs hits your thighs as she tugs down her shorts just enough so she can free it. “You want this huh? Want this big cock inside you? C’mon, tell Daddy.”

“Please, daddy, please.” You grind your hips against the tip of the toy that she’s holding right against your entrance. “Need it.”

“Need it? So dramatic, love. Well, if you need it, it’d be cruel of me to make you wait much longer, huh?” Valkyrie laughs at your fervent nodding that quickly turns into a gasp as she pulls you down flush against her lap, settling her strap deep inside you. She picked the thick one, the one with realistic veins that feel oh so delectable when you squeeze around the toy.

You press your face into her neck, inhaling deeply as she starts to guide your hips up and down on her cock. The scent of her cologne fills your head, the woody smell reminds you of that camping trip she took you on last fall. The one where she gave you the beautifully crafted ring around your finger. Val notices your whimpers against her skin and you feel her shake with laughter.

“My baby’s so pathetic, aren’t they? Whining against me, just begging for Daddy to fill them up. Bet you thought about this the whole time you were gone, didn’t you? Thought about me stretchin’ you out?”

“Yes, yes,” you groan, clutching onto her like your life depends on it. You hardly have to do any of the work, she just guides you up and down along her strap. If she wasn’t wearing the sweatshirt, you’d be able to properly admire the way her biceps flex as she does so. But there’s plenty of time for that later. For now, you savor being used like a sweet whiney toy.

“Good baby. So fuckin’ good.” She pushes you back a bit so she can properly see the way her cock fills you up, the opening she ripped in your leggings framing her view of your dripping cunt like artwork. “Gods, look at that cunt. Soaked. Swallowing me up like I’m nothing. And this pretty clit too.”

Her fingers spread your lips so she can properly admire how swollen your clit is, thumbing over it and admiring the way you jerk when she does. While she plays with the sensitive bud, you grind yourself down in her lap, each movement dragging the toy against your walls in the most delicious way possible. Your body shakes with pleasure as you feel your climax quickly building.

“You’re gonna be the death of me, baby. I swear every time I fuck you, it’s like I’ve died and gone to Valhalla. Want you to cum for me, c’mon. Wanna see those pretty eyes roll back, wanna see that sweet head of yours go empty,” Valkyrie presses kisses along your jaw as you moan out incoherent phrases that sound vaguely like fuckDaddypleaseyespleasegonnacum. A gush of liquid erupts around Val’s strap as you cum, and she moans at the feeling of you squirting against her. “Fuck! That’s it, that’s my baby. Such a fuckin’ mess.”

You go limp against her, cock still nestled inside of you, Val still whispering praises into your ear. Round two is sure to happen, but the two of you take a moment to enjoy each other’s presence, your breath hitting Val’s skin in heavy pants as she strokes your thighs. The material of your leggings is soaked with sweat and cum, and Valkyrie doesn’t fail to notice.

“Aw, bug, you ruined your expensive leggings!”

“Shut up.”

omg i love your headcanons so much??

Also congrats on 100 followers!

could i request headcanons for poseidon, hades, thor and jack with an s/o who acts really stoic and always has a blank face but on the inside they act like a giant fangirl and fawns over everything they do even if its just as simple as drinking something

Stoic S/O is their biggest fan

[ HEADCANONS ] [ Hades, Thor, Jack ]

[ Records of Ragnarok / Shuumatsu no Valkyrie ]

Im so happy that you like my writing so much dear!! Thank you so much!! ❤️

So, we are Nightfall now huh? Haha I like it, its so funny to think!! sempai suki

I don't write for Poseidon but I gladly write for the others, I hope you like it!

Hades

Hades doesn't mind at all your stoic personality, he loves you just the way you are, besides your personality seems to match really well with his own (well, thats what others says) since he is mature and most of the time serious, you two usually are look up at as a couple, saying that you truly are the image of kings. But it isn't like Hades care about appearances, he just care about you and your happiness

However it could be the case that someone doesn't really likes you, maybe becouse they think you don't deserve him if you aren't going to apreciate him, but is better that Hades doesn't get to know that someone actually think this or else he will get really mad, he isn't someone who recurre to violence but he name alone intimidates people, so, even that he just scold that person for thinking such things (even if you don't mind) that person will never dare to say something like that again

He is recognized and admired by all the gods, but the way you admire him is new, is completely different from the others, yours is more discreet and almost unnoticible, people could bet that you don't think much of him, but he is observant and really intelligent of course he will notice it, maybe not inmediatly but he does

He has never doubt that you love him, but the intensity of you love for him actually flattered him. He could be admired and loved by all the gods, but, since you are so special for him (his special someone, his beloved partner) is the fact that you love him so much what make him feel special

He isn't someone who show off but is like he do it without even trying, and he doesn't mind having you around while is doing his usual work, he even invite you over whenever he go to do it or have to go somewhere else

Also, from time to time Hades have really romantic gestures with you, giving you a gift (mainly flowers), compliments or expresing his love for you in a rather poetic way, and every time he does it he notice those little hints of how you really love him, how your eyes widen a little, your cheeks get just a little more pink and a smile threatening to appear

Although, he is not egocentric so he probably will never know the whole extent of your feelings for him, how with every gestures he have towards you you feel like you can explode, or how just by seeing him work you melt in your spot, not even how you will do (willingly and happyly) anything for him

Thor

There is not doubt why you two are together, you two are the same, always with a blank face and barely expresing something, but at the same time is a mistery how you two end together for this. But others opinion doesn't matter to the both of you, the only thing that matter is the inmense love you two have for each other

He doesn't mind your stoic personality at all, if you don't like expresing much or strugle with it is fine you don't have to force yourself to do it, and he doesn't have problem with telling you this, remembering you all the times you need how much he loves you just the way you are

Thor himself have some troubles when it comes to expresing his feelings, and sometimes he wonders if you love him or if you just get bored of him (he doesn't doubt you though), so he probably ended up asking you right away (thanks to this you will have a lot of communication between the two of you)

He probably won't notice the inmense love and admiration you have for him, he knows you love him yes, but he doesn't know at what extent that loves is. Is more probably that it will be others gods who actually notice it, and even so they will just think that they are just imagining things since you didn't seem to be that type

When he get to know this (maybe someone told him or he just start noticing it, or maybe even it was you who tell him) he will take some time to think about it, again is becouse you doesn't seem the type to get so intense for someone, he will have a hard time to actually accept this (however that won't change anything, not the way he sees you and neither your relationship)

He isn't someone who show off and still that doesn't stop you from looking at him like he is the most amazing person in the whole universe, and with time he will start noticing the way you look at him and everytime he catch you staring at him he laugh softly and pet your head gently or hug you, sometimes he even gives you a soft kiss in the head. You make him feel like he actually is that special

If you like to be by his side all the time and even follow him around he won't mind it too much, he loves spending time with you too, he was used to feel apathy for not having an opponent but you bring happines to his days, he adores you so much that he just cannot say no to you

Jack the Ripper

The contrast you two have is really big and obvious, he is a gentelman, poetic and eloquent while you are stoic and barely express something if isn't need it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love you, even if you don't express it he know you love him, and he loves you with the same intensity (well, maybe not the same but can be compared)

It wasn't difficult for him to notice your feelings for him, even if you don't express much he can see your true colors and he see nothing but love, happines and admiration, and this makes him feel really loved and he likes this feeling

The first time he notice the intensity of your feelings towards him he didn't know how to react, he have seen people with bright colors but not with this intensity (probably just his mother, or Heracles), but with time he get used to always seeing you with this colors when you two are together, and this never fails to make him smile (either a soft smile or, sometimes, laugh)

He notice that you sometimes change between an undying love to the biggest admiration and that makes him really curious, he could pass hours just watching you to find out what exactly makes you feel what, what do you express when he hugs you? what do you express when he says that he loves you? what do you express when you two have some tea together? what do you express when he is reading to you? He wants to know

More than once he had catch you staring at him or how you inmediatly getting cover in bright colors by just the mention of his name or by hearing his voice and that truly amused him, it makes him feel so loved and even like he is someone really special, you never fail to make him smile and even laugh

When he feels pretty flirty he will show of his skills and elegancy a little just to make you flustered (you may no express it in your face but he still can notice it). Besides, Jack is pretty romantic and cheesy so it isn't weird for him to give you flowers or little gifts from time to time

Also, he doesn't mind at all your stoic personality, he fell in love with you just the way you are, so you don't have to try to be something you aren't just for others. Although, If someone say something bad about you for it he won't tolerate it, even if you don't mind he do, and will take care of the problem later

wanted to make a post ranting about how much tlat fucked over val but it's so bad that it isn't worth the brain power it would take to write an essay so here's a list of bullshit. tlat spoilers obviously

this movie just unnecessarily made val into a slutty bisexual who has commitment issues? like, why was she like "an orgy sounds great" while thorjane (the straights) were like ew

the way they reduced her to the token black friend who is there purely to support the white mains??? like that was the vibe I got from the trailer but this was somehow worse??? she got virtually nothing???

why are the asgardians respecting thor more than val when she's their king and the one whose been taking care of them while thor's been fucking around having his fifteenth midlife crisis???

tessa said that there was a version of the script where her whole storyline was just about finding a queen and she had to step in because it was dehumanizing and the focus on val needed to be about her being a person who happened to be queer... but where was this person? we got some grrl power king status scenes and a couple of blink and you'll miss them lines about the valkyrior and that's it

how did we not get a single flashback about the valkyrior even though we know an extra was cast a valkyrie

she got nerf'd and kicked out of the final battle and was absent for like most of the last 30 minutes

some kids got more of a hero moment in the final battle than val did

pretty sure she actually had more screen time in ragnarok than in tlat

she had literally no character development or plot. she is literally just a body there to fight

no fr there's this whole ass scene where she's basically a body for korg?? it was very strange and didn't serve a purpose but she had to do it while because I guess thorjane are too important to do it

thor says that zeus was his childhood hero when it was previously val, and like yeah you can have more than one hero but come on

we are three movies deep, why doesn't val have a first name??? tessa implied she would get a name and then she just didn't????

val doesn't get to talk about her beloved herself - it's just korg babbling at her about her commitment issues and mentions an ex girlfriend

val lowkey compares jane to her sisters but their entire friendship is basically offscreen

there's this bit where korg says thor doesn't discriminate who he loves and it cuts to a montage of thor with a bunch of white women and idk that feels like an attack on the idea of a black woman being his love interest

also this isn't about val but thor's characterization was just so fucking awful this entire movie like holy shit who the fuck was that man baby because that was not the person at the end of ragnarok or even iw/endgame. like, what the fuck did taika do to my man??? but that may need to be its own post

in conclusion this movie sucks ass. is it queerbaiting? no, val is explicitly queer (and korg but who cares about that pile of rocks), but it's not a good movie and just a horrible movie for val in particular. if you're a qpoc or a woc who was excited to see val finally get her moment in the sun then don't even bother

#tlat spoilers #thor spoilers #love and thunder spoilers #valkyrie #brunnhilde #thor love and thunder #mcu spoilers #film: mcu #thorkyrie #tagging the ship because half the people who actually care about val are there

MCU: the final conclusion of my winterbaron sugar daddy fic

LOTR: Doriath trash party wrt Melian/Galadriel

LOTR: “Sauron becomes a tree”

LOTR: healing generational trauma with fourth age Arwen and her peepaw

The Matrix: Trinity and Smith as mirrors

Good Omens: Crowley haunted by his angel

Star Wars: A really scandalous dinluke sex pollen

Total number of completed works/fandoms written in: fifteen completed works in 2023 for a total of just over 32k words; six LOTR, two SPN, two Narnia, the rest sundry & various.

OVERALL THOUGHTS: ::taps the top of this car:: you can put so much monsterfucking in this bad boy, jfc.

PERSONAL FAVORITE: Getting unblocked by the most unlikeliest of sources and FINISHING MY SUPERCORP HATESEX. uncharted territory finished FIVE YEARS LATER. This has been a weight on my shoulders for years; I always knew it ended with a sadistic Lex Luthor torturing Kara (oop), but it was time passing and The Flash (2023) that got me where I needed to be to get that banged out. I’m really really pleased how that ended, and that I actually can finish a WIP.

MOST UNDERAPPRECIATED: Bound is really exceptional. It was part of my WIP amnesty week, and a revisitation and remix of a meg masters fic I wrote in 2013 after I had a terrible life-altering accident. My favorite 2023 additions are how she can only speak in the language of Sodom at the end. It’s not a GREAT fic, but I really love Meg and I love Meg & Castiel.

MOST POPULAR: Definitely Nimona (nothing can go wrong when you're in love) with 1,200+ kudos. Y’all, the teen/gen fic in younger fandoms hits hard. OOPS. re: my deeply funny stats for the little mermaid tentacles fic with over 3k hits and 86 kudos. AHAHHAHAH. welp.

STORY WITH THE SEXIEST MOMENT: OKAY, so this is sexy specific to me: in Crave, Galadriel taunts Sauron about how he has to fuck Ar-Pharazôn (a mini love letter to my beloved 5ummit!) and this, to me, is everything: “And you’ll never enjoy Ar-Pharazôn’s little prick again,” she says, drinking in the horror of his recent memories, a soured scheme. “Your play at feigned pleasure in service to a base creature will be ash in your mouth now. You will only think of the taste of my cunt with his cock shoved in your whore mouth.” The crass words burn on her lips but she can sense how he trembles, even in this form. “You’ll hunger for the taste of me. And when he’s dead, when you’ve sucked the miserable mortal life out of him, you’ll never take a lover again for the rest of your unnatural life,” she says. “You know where your dick should be sheathed. In me and no where else.”

MOST FUN STORY TO WRITE: Okay, I traveled for work a LOT this year and one night I was feeling down and angry about the world and asked on twitter that for every like, I’d write a soft haladriel headcanon and by the end of the night, i had the bulk of a little touch in the night and I was such a happy delighted lil soul. Such a highlight of the year.

HARDEST: A tie between Crave, which was writing on hard mode since I’m violently anti dominant Sauron (oop), and uncharted territory since I had been blocked for years.

BIGGEST SURPRISE: The delicious lush connection of Celeborn/Sauron in somewhere in the haze that STARTED AS A JOKE and now I’m full rarepair conspiracy theory into it.

DID YOU TAKE ANY RISKS IN WRITING THIS YEAR? Posting SPN in 2023, lol what was that. And neither of them explicitly destiel. Girl. Both tanked but I love those two fics.

MOST UNINTENTIONALLY TELLING STORY: Okay, one of my yuletides this year is really too close to something I’m working through in therapy. Oop.

FAVORITE LINES/SCENES: Okay literally everything in atomic blonde, that fic is nonstop bangers imho. I love this especially:

“Ah, there it is,” he replies. Stops, and turns to look into her eyes. To drink in her fury. “This isn’t your world, Daughter of Eve. Take your cursed horn and your beautiful face and take the little shieldmaiden too for all I care and leave Middle Earth to me. Grow old and find joy in women’s work.” He blinks, nonsense words emerging out of him: “In Christian Dior dresses and Chanel lipstick, in Italian leather handbags and silk nylons, in handsome British officers and those American boys who offer more than kisses, in the rumble of a Jaguar and the cries of healthy babies who do not fear war. Live and die on an island far, far away.” He blinks again. “I do not want you here.”

MY FAVE PART OF FANDOM IN 2023: Repeatedly saying “you hear me, baby? hold together” at the haladriel fandom like Han Solo does to the Millennium Falcon and we did! We made it another year!!! Let’s go, 2024!!!! (YOU HEAR ME, BABY. HOLD TOGETHER.)

2024 WRITING AMBITIONS: same as last year’s: Write more steadily and consistently. Get back into the drabble mode. Make time, take time, just do it. It doesn’t have to be groundbreaking, it just has to be creating something. The joy of creation is like nothing else. Chase that high.

2024 FICS ON THE IMMEDIATE HORIZON: Jan 1 - htp trash fic exchange Feb 3 - rffa exchange March - haladriel exchange!

Eternity

Pairing: Brunnhilde x female reader (no other specifications)

Word Count: 1600 words

Outline: After ages in the making it was time to bound yourself eternally to the king of Asgard.

Warnings: swearing, properly bad grammar and syntax :P

Author’s Note: This is my entry for @maladaptivexxdaydreaming jardin de poemas writing challenge. I used the prompts 'My mind has long been swept away by the sounds of bird song and laughter on those spring afternoons bathed in sunshine and brisk breezes.' + 'I would put you first, I would claim you, I would declare you when times were tough, when times were difficult, I would cling to you.' Congratulations on this milestone and may many more come your way! I had the idea of making a wedding ceremony for a while now and I am glad this was my opportunity to do so!

P.S: dividers by @firefly-graphics // banners by @maysdigitalarts

Main Masterlist ・❥・Valkyrie Masterlist

Centuries have come and passed, trees have evolved and turned into everlasting poetry, and yet here you were standing side by side with your most beloved, the reason for your heart to beat, your one, your breath of life. She looks back at you with a heartwarming smile, her long braids falling on her face. Expertly she pushes them back in place and lets out a soft giggle. It feels like a dream, it always felt like this, and such beauty was hard to come by.

“Are you happy?” You ask her, a whisper so low, that only she could hear.

“Only with you.” She reassures you and extends her arm searching for your hand. She takes your hand in and brushes her fingers over your ring. A simple small diamond with a silver band with the words ‘for eternity’ engraved inside. It has been a long time since she had given it to you and yet you haven’t managed to fulfill that promise to each other. To eternally be bonded to one another. Soon enough the day will come. The world had been in shambles and together alongside many other warriors you had helped to have it all rebuild and recreate the life that once was. Now it was time for the future, the path that you had created to walk alongside one another.

“Tomorrow is our day.” You remind her with a proud smile on your face.

“Every day is our day.” She winks at you and drags your hand towards her, pulling you with her.

The decorations and the preparations have been going wonderfully. In the throne room of new Asgard, big white silk ribbons were falling from the ceilings, and the golden chandleries, down to the marble floor adorned with all kinds of magical and colorful flowers. Flowers were growing and glowing to all the colors of the rainbow, reflecting a thousand realities into one.

Throwing red rose petals in your face is how she had to awaken you for your wedding morning, the ceremony would be early in the day before the sun got too warm on this august day and then followed by the biggest feast close by to the coastline. It wasn’t every day that the king of Asgard was getting married after all. It could be the only royal wedding they’d ever seen as long as you both lived. You would never let go of Brunnhidle’s side, not for anything. And that sentiment was shared by her.

She blows the petals into your face while giggling and you push them away from your face, firstly waking up, to the beautiful face of the woman you loved.

“Are you happy?” She asks you again. “You can still run away if you need to.” She continues, zero worries masking her voice. You shake your head and pull her closer for a deep kiss. “Never. I am only happy with you.” She nods her head and cocks an eyebrow. “Your wedding vows must be one of a kind then.”

“Well, not everyone marries the king every day…” You roll your eyes just as the maid bursts in through the golden door of the royal chambers. “ But someone has to do it…” You chuckle looking as the maids try to plead and warn about the time. “What a burden you have to bear, darling.” Brunnhilde is kissing you now, between soft giggles but it was already getting late, you had to start getting ready. Evidently, is very difficult for the maids to pull you apart from each other. But both of you needed to get dressed and since you didn’t seem to want to stop kissing one another…

An hour later, you were standing in front of the mirror looking at yourself, your breath has been cut short. You are feeling a little bit out of your element. It wasn’t rare for someone to get cold feet right at the last moment, and being the center of attention has never been your forte. Somehow the thought of royalty and the formality of everything makes your brain hazy. What if Brunnhilde realizes that you are too little for her? What if she is destined for even greater things? What if it was the war that made her long for a lover and now in the time of peace she wanted to live differently, she just didn’t know it yet?

“She asked me to give you this.” Jane’s voice is heard from behind you and she is holding a small box in the palm of her hands. Deep in your thoughts you never heard come in. “What is it?” You ask immediately and try to hide the emotions on your face.

“I don’t know, is for you to find out.” She smiles and turns to leave the room, allowing you to be alone with the box. Taking a deep breath you decide to open it, pulling the velvet ribbon to reveal what’s inside.

To your surprise, is a small sharp silver blade, engraved with roses and vines. Behind there is a piece of folded paper. Hesitantly you take it in your hands and begin to read it.

‘If I ever stop loving you, you can kill me with this.’

“Fucking dramatic.” You mumble to yourself and roll your eyes. And yet it was exactly what pulled you out of your temporary darkness. She had made you laugh, even if she was a couple of chambers away.

“Is time!” You shout and click on your heels to meet the rest of your company. Jane has a big smile on her face escorting you outside. Slowly and with the honors attached to a wedding like this, they escort you to the throne room, right before you are to enter, they place a golden veil on your face. As if she doesn’t know you already. Oh, those old traditions. You walk slowly, holding a bouquet of various flowers in your hands and once you meet her gaze, watching her silhouette standing tall dressed in all black and velvet, your heart melts once more. She looked regal, with the crown on her head and the golden scepter on her right hand. She was a king through and through. You can see her as a small smirk is curled on the corner of her lips. She is impressed by you just like you are.

“Fancy seeing you here.” She chuckles as she takes your hand in hers and grins at you. “Thought you might get lost in the corridors.” You roll your eyes and shake your head slowly. “No, I had many people guiding me, thankfully.”

She laughs and any previous nervousness has now left the air.

Heimdall begins a speech, talking about tales old and new all leading up to Brunnhilde’s reign and the praises of the Valkyries. Once he is finished with the historical side, he asks her to push back the veil and reveal yourself to the crowd. She does so, with a delicate move and you let her eyes fall into your lover’s eyes. This is it, where your life always was leading you to. Right into the embrace of your lover.

“You may exchange your vows.”

Valkyrie looks at you with a playful expression, she knows she has to go first as the king but she is still wondering if she could pull a trick on you. She has been carefully planning for days the most beautiful speech that would evoke the most sentiments out of you. She was prepared and ready to make you cry but little did she know that your also your plan.

“I will love you, amongst the stars and amongst the deepest of oceans, in health and in sickness and in any life in any universe. I would put you first, I would claim you, I would declare you when times were tough, when times were difficult, I would cling to you and I will always be by your side. As your formal lover, first and foremost and second as your king.”

Her speech is beautiful, it makes the crowd erupt in thunderous claps and you know still they are not prepared for what is coming from you. Clearing your throat you meet her intense gaze and declare.

“All my life, I felt lost at sea. Like a mermaid that needed to go home but the oceans had dried. When I met you, is as if life got colorful again. There were sounds and colors, melodies and auras I had never seen or even dreamt of before. Fighting by your side as your second in command, taught me everything there is to know about the universe, the earth, the way people laugh and their hearts grow a size. You taught me life’s lore without even speaking about anything. Your presence alone helped me spread my wings and learn how to fly. My mind has long been swept away by the sounds of bird song and laughter on those spring afternoons bathed in sunshine and brisk breezes. And I wish nothing more than to spend each and every awakening moment right by your side. My king.”

There were tears in her eyes, is not like that wasn’t your intention and yet it still surprised you. Heimdall declared it was time to kiss the bride and Brunnhilde wasted no time. The kiss that followed and sealed your eternal fate was the most tender you had ever felt.

Together.

Eternally.

For centuries to come you’d rule side by side forevermore. And when youth turned to old age and the oceans were getting dry, there you were hand in hand and matching heartbeats.

Cap-IM Rec Week Day 3

It’s All About AUs today!!! AU’s are my favorite, when talented authors take my favs and put them in a completely different situation and world and still makes them recognizable. Whittling it down for today’s rec list for @cap-ironman was especially difficult, but here are five of my favorite kinds of AUs.

(By Any Other) Name by Captain_Panda

When Steve went down with the Valkyrie, he thought his days with dragons were over.

Then he meets Tony Stark, who inherited Howard Stark's dragon.

As the kids say: "It's complicated."

This Dragon!AU series is my favorite dragon AU. The world building is excellent, as is the relationship developed between Steve and Tony. I think I’ve read it a half dozen times and already look forward to the next reread.

Knight of Wands by Sineala

Steve has reigned as king for ten years, and in a few days peace will finally come to his kingdom. Representatives of the Kree Empire are soon to arrive for the negotiations that will end the war between them once and for all. Steve is looking forward to settling down, with his hand-picked Avengers at his side -- led, of course, by the masked knight Iron Man -- and also his trusted advisors, the most beloved of whom is Tony, his court magician, the most powerful mage in all the land.

But when Steve's life is endangered, Tony makes the greatest sacrifice of all to protect his king, a sacrifice far greater than his life. And when Tony disappears under mysterious circumstances, Steve learns that even his closest friends keep secrets that he could never have suspected.

I have a soft spot a mile wide for King/Lionheart stories, especially when Steve is the king and Tony is advisor/wizard/knight. It’s just a perfect dynamic, and as always, Sine is flawless at telling a story.

I Whisper Your Name on Each Star I See Falling by JezebelGoldstone, littleblackbow

The day Natasha first told Steve her idea, he never would have dreamed that her fool notion would land him here: watching the train roll into the station and trying to wrap his mind around the fact that somewhere in there is the man who agreed to marry him.

Steve, an alpha farmer living outside a small town in the Rockies who doesn't want to admit how lonely he is, has been exchanging letters with omega Tony for nearly a year. When at last Tony arrives in Big Eden, Steve is confronted with the fact that he doesn't know Tony as well as he thought he did - and falls for him harder than a landslide anyway.

This one is hard--arranged marriage au’s are near and dear to my heart, and picking just one was near impossible. But how soft Steve is with Tony in this one breaks me every time I read it, so--here you are.

Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree by Annie D (scaramouche)

Steve doesn’t mind that Tony doesn’t return his feelings. He just would've preferred if it didn’t come with the side effect of his coughing up flowers and possibly dying.

I struggled between hanahaki or soulmate AUs, and decided on this because I’d put soulmates in an earlier list this week. Hanahaki is both beautiful and heartbreaking, just the way I like my fic. This one is amazing.

ad astra by Areiton

The first time he kissed Tony Stark, the stars danced overhead.

Ok, I might be cheating a little by including my own AU here, but. I really love this one? It’s a space AU which I always love, and plays with the movie from 2019. Anyway, it remains one of my favorite pieces of writing.

What Persephone did after round 7?

After the 7th battle, the gods were perplexed at the defeat of the king of Helheim while the humans dismissed the god with a bow as well as their representative. It was one more defeat for the Greek pantheon, there was a rather awkward silence between Persephone and the other gods, while Hades' most loyal servant, Rhadamanthys, could only laugh angrily at the defeat of his master and openly cursed humanity while breaking a pillar, but that didn't faze the goddess.

Persephone, after weeping for the death of her beloved, turned to Zeus with a look full of hatred, contempt and insulting him for accepting Ragnarok. After that she went to the battle arena, when both gods and humans saw her they were confused by what was happening, not caring anything on either side, she continued on her way until she reached a point where Hades' coat was on the ground, gently took it to remove the dust, folded it in a perfect way to then call Rhadamanthys and giving him that garment carefully.

Everyone was enraptured by her beauty, even saying that she was more beautiful than the goddess Aphrodite herself. With a smile on her face she turned to Heimdall, asking him kindly for the Gjallarhorn and through him, she formally introduced herself to everyone.

"I am the goddess of spring and the queen of Helheim, Persephone! Humans, you have humiliated my pantheon with this third defeat, but that is over. You, Valkyrie, choose your best fighter for this time, I will fight in the name of the Greek gods. This fight will count as part of the seventh round of Ragnarok."

Persephone only makes her spear appear and stands on guard, waiting for the next representative of humanity.

Thor Odinson

tagged by : @beheworthy bc i would ALWAYS like 💖💖💖

Give me a fictional character and I will say:

Favorite thing about them: His big dumb hero's heart. His compassion. How much he loves his home, his people, his family, his beloved, his friends — how much he loves.

Least favorite thing about them: //stares pointedly at his inability to form meaningful connections because Thor is Not Allowed to be Not Okay (even when it's obvious and people he loves asks him to share his heart).

Three things I have in common with them:

I am, myself, an elder sibling!! And one whose younger brother was/is someone I am incredibly close to, care a great deal about — that entire drama is very close to home for me.

A passion bubble for friends and family that's, on occasion, close to the surface... but otherwise am chill 👍

and .... bunt out golden child syndrome vibes. Especially that vibe of "do it on your own and put on your leader face at all times, because all eyes are on you, good luck"

Three things I don’t have in common with them:

His ... overly reserved nature. I've been told I can be serious but I don't think I brood the way he does.

One day I will be nearly half as eloquent in my speech outside of writing 🙏

The way that Thor is able to just command a room???? Goals. Total goals. I'm either very good at directing conversations or shaky at it and I wish I had Thor's level of confidence.

Favorite line:

"i would rather be a good man than a great king."

OR ALTERNATIVELY.

"is that why everything's on fire~?"

BROTP: Brodinsons 100% . Then the entire warriors + sif squad dynamics! I'm forever sad we never got more of them all together. Then Heimdall, because Thor deserves positive mentor figures in his life. (and as far as the avengers proper go: Thor/Steve absolutely deserves more recognition they were the og duo as far as Age of Ultron is concerned and y'all , we've all been sleeping.)

OTP: Fosterson ! :D They're adorable star-crossed lovers, and he loves her very much. (and she feels the same for him !)

NOTP: if i see (1) more fan art of thorki in the thor tag i will scream. I guess also bruce/thor and valkyrie/thor exist ...??? I'm not really sure who Thor's exactly shipped with in the MCU besides Jane.

Random Headcanon: One time I considered the thought of little!Thor being exceptionally friendly with his kitchen staff servants, and because he's a strong little guy, he'd pick up giant barrels 3x his size and lug them around just because he wants to be helpful. And he'd do it with or without the prize of getting snuck goodies (though he would definitely prefer the goodies, were it up to him.)

Unpopular Opinion: I'm not sure if this counts as an unpopular opinion exactly, but I do always find it interesting that in the Frozen Vault Scene in Thor (2011), what the cinematography and editors show us that sets Thor off is seeing the dead einherjar...

And I'd actually say that this triggers his anger more than the interruption of his crowning ceremony.

So with that in mind, I'm not actually sure that (most of) his rage regarding the situation was about the coronation at all, in that case. At least, not in comparison to the fear he states (semi-subtextually) about being strong enough to maintain Asgard's borders were. ("They know you are vulnerable.")

He actually seems to only be upset about the coronation AFTER Odin makes it very clear he's decided to change his mind and rescind the crown from him entirely ... which only further fuels the point that Thor isn't ready. (aka: the one thing Thor is keenly aware of, scared of, and is scared the Frost Giants also know.) Which, you know, he's not at that point in time, but I don't see a lot of people talk about the details of that particular inciting incident all that much.

(honestly the ENTIRE text and subtext of the frozen vault scene absolutely FASCINATES ME so maybe I'll do a deep dive on it one day idk)

Song SONGS I associate with them: ... //looks at my 5-minutes-until-13 hr playlist uh...

Glowing, Boreas, and Rounds by The Oh Hellos

Plant Life, The Real World, and Bird with a Broken Wing by Owl City

No Sanctuary by UNSECRET (ft. Sam Tinnesz and Fleurie)

Afterglow and Places by Portrair

Paper and Ink (fosterson) and Everything Changes in Time (brodinsons) by Madds Buckley ... also Hoping on Another Life by Madds Buckley

Favorite picture of them:

//pulls out my entire dark world screenshots folder bc are you really going to make me choose, quirks, are you really going to make me choose

soft beautiful 🥺🥺🥺🥺 precious boy ... give me more of that poncho look tho thanks

Tagging: @darkwee009 for pinkie pie or for kirby ! :D whichever you'd like more, friend !!!

#(SENDS YOU KISSES 😘)#&&. whispers #&&. thor.#&&. | marvel. |#(also no no i am not ashamed of my 13 hour playlist for thor)#(yes you can absolutely ask for more song recs i have too many)#(And probably more on the way)

My thoughts on ACOTAR and so on

Okay, so I'm going to tell the story how I felt it.

I've read the books this week. All five. By mistake I started reading acosf the first.

How did this affect me? I wasn't in Feyre's side. My main character was Nesta, and I felt so in board with her. I didn't know what a y of them had gone through, but Rhys was just a cocky king, and Feyre someone with a holy vibe acting all hurt because of Nesta's feelings.

I've been like Nesta. I sometimes am scared because of my own anger, the pain I know I can cause and how difficult it is to consider yourself worty while knowing how easily you can hurt your beloved friends and family.

I was shocked when they took her private place, when they shamed her for her sexual life... Again, not fully knowing what she had given up before this book.

I hurt with her, and while reading I just kept feeling like she was being forced to heal in one way rather than being able to form a path of her own. But she did anyways. She found Gwyn and Emerie, she found the valkyries' training and used it while training with Cassian. I'll go into more heavy detail about what I think about his training another time.

I didn't know any better, so I was happy when she was able to open up to the IC a bit more, when she got soft. I thought it was for her best.

But now i've read the whole series, and let me tell you I was not happy.

After seeing how punished got Nesta, seeing Feyre get everything so easily was almost painful. She had to fight, yes, but everyone considered her to be good. To be worthy. People fought so she could be happy. The IC was so ready to forgive her for everything...

(It was also strange how fast she began ordering them around. This little 2 days ago human giving orders. I don't think she knew better, but anyhow she is better than Rhys and all her IC. Centuries old fae who cannot learn how to hace healthy relationships.)

But nobody treated Nesta with the same respect they treated Feyre. Rhys seemed to hate her since the first moment, and can we talk about how toxic is that? Feyre forgave her sister, who is Rhys to hold a grudge?

He imposed his own beliefs into the IC, bad mouthing Nesta. I believe Cassian at first was impressed by that little human woman, but had to follow what Rhys thought... And took that too far. (Maybe Cassian is happy being Rhys' dog? He surely treats him like one).

Mor was always jealous of her, because she dared to be herself. She was getting her toy's attention and that wasn't nice.

And Amren... Seeing first how she treated Nesta in acosf was terrible, so I became wary of her in the rest of the books. Another one who wanted a toy, but Nesta isn't a toy... Nesta IS a Queen.

I said this in a comment but just like the illyrian clip their women's wings to keep them home and domesticated, Nesta was robbed of her power. Nesta was death, Nesta was fire. Nesta was Queen, not a High Lady. And she can't be more than Feyre. She was silenced, destroyed. This seems like another of Rhys power games... And knowing how SJM treats Feysand she won't have her truly happy ending... But God knows she should take those High Lords and steal their power, she should have the Couldren and rule everything... Because only that would make up for everything she's been through.

I kinda got carried away lol

Eldest, Morrigan

[Commissioned by @hiswrathundoesthewicked. This is, to my knowledge, the first attempt at giving one of the Eldest, the fey equivalent of demigods in Pathfinder, a stat block. I borrowed formatting and abilities from the demon lords and empyreal lords in order to do so. Morrigan, or the Morrigan, is an Irish goddess of war and death, and casts a long shadow over modern interpretations of Celtic myth and culture, neopaganism, and the concept of fey in fantasy. So much so that there’s already two Eldest canonical to Pathfinder, Madgh and Shyka the Many, that poach some of her flavor. So I had to make sure that this Morrigan stood out and had a niche.

She also casts a long shadow over horny artists on the internet, although she does come by it more honestly than some other mythological figures. In surviving myths, she does try to seduce Cúchulainn, who refuses her, and has sex with the god Dagda before his battle with the fomorians. Both a Darkstalkers character and a Dragon Age character are named Morrigan in her honor, and both of them wear very revealing clothing. Most artistic depictions of the actual goddess Morrigan also involve deep cleavage, open robes and boobplate. Part of the reason I chose this art was because it looks regal and fierce and not at all sexualized.]

Morrigan The Phantom Queen, Queen of Crows N Eldest Fey of battle, death and scavengers Domains Animal, Death, Luck, War Subdomains Blood, Fate, Feathers, Tactics Worshippers druids, tengu, warriors Minions norns, valkyries, vilderavns Holy Symbol bird skull with blood painted over the eyes Favored Weapon bastard sword Obedience Wash your hands, face and weapons in blood. This can be your own blood or someone else’s. Gain a +4 sacred bonus on saves vs. death effects Feysworn Boons 1. Battle Gift (Sp) deathwatch 3/day, spiritual weapon 2/day or vampiric touch 1/day 2. Fight On (Su) You gain ferocity as a supernatural ability. 3. Death to All Foes (Sp) You can cast wail of the banshee once per day.

Eldest, Morrigan CR 28 N Fey This woman is statuesque and muscled, with a cruel beauty. She appears almost entirely human, except that her hands are stained red and end in bird like talons instead of nails. She wears an iron crown and a cloak of black feathers.

Morrigan the Phantom Queen is the fey patron of warfare. Unlike many other powers of war, she is stridently neutral, giving succor or inflicting banes on warriors of any creed, cause or alignment as she sees fit. Her primary interest in war is in generating the dead and feeding her beloved beasts, scavengers all. Although in different places she may be associated with boars and eels, vultures and hyenas, her favorites are the crows, who act as her eyes and ears in the sky, and in whose feathers she is perpetually adorned.

Morrigan is more interested in turning the tides of battles than in fighting herself. She frequently visits battlefields in the form of a crow, using her spell-like abilities and curse of unluck to make a peasant into a hero, a king into a fool, and generally make wars more deadly and more interesting. She may offer her services intentionally to a warrior in exchange for some favor, but just as often bestows her gifts capriciously. In combat, she is deadly with sword and bow, and the grievous wounds she inflicts delay healing from all sources. Morrigan never fights to the death if she can help it, as there are so many other battles to influence and decomposers to feed.

The creatures that serve Morrigan come from all manner of alignments, interpreting her silences and cryptic pronouncements as they see fit. Norns attempt to weave her battles into their tapestries of fate, and she is on good terms with Madgh, their patron. Valkyries and einherji fight for her glorious honor, and take the finest warriors to join their ranks when they die. Vilderavns use her doctrines to destabilize nations and sew dissent among armies. Morrigan has cordial relations with the psychopomps, as she has little interest in the flow of souls. The Horseman of War despises her and views her as competition, but Morrigan pays that position little mind.

Cloak of Feathers (Su) When wearing a garment made out of feathers, Morrigan gains a +8 armor bonus to AC without a maximum Dex bonus or armor check penalty, and a fly speed of 60 feet with good maneuverability. This is an effect of Morrigan, not her cloak. Curse of Unluck (Su) Claw—injury; save Will DC 38; frequency 1/hour; effect target must reroll any roll decided by the GM and take the worse result; duration until removed. The save DC is Charisma based. Morrigan also inflicts this curse with her natural weapons when assuming a form with natural weapons using change shape. Eldest Traits (Ex, or Sp) Morrigan is one of the Eldest, powerful fey lords that rule over domains of the First World. The Eldest have the following traits

The Eldest can grant spells to their worshipers, granting access to four domains and four subdomains

An Eldest’s natural weapons, as well as any weapon they wield, are treated as being epic and any alignment possessed by the Eldest

Immunity to ability damage, ability drain, charm effects, compulsion effects, energy drain and fear effects

Regeneration (Ex) Only damage from a deific or mythic source can deal permanent damage to the Eldest

Rejuvenation (Ex) When an Eldest is slain, they return to life in its realm in 1d10 days. An Eldest may only use this ability once per year—if they are slain again in the meantime, they are slain for good.

Summon Fey (Sp) Three times per day as a standard action, an Eldest can summon up to a CR 20 encounter of fey creatures or Tane (such as bandersnatches, jubjub birds, thrasfyr, sards, etc). This is the equivalent of a 9th level spell.

Festering Critical (Su) Whenever Morrigan confirms a critical hit made against an opponent, that foe must succeed a DC 38 Will save or be unable to heal physical or ability damage from any source for 1 minute. Multiple failed saves increase the duration. This is a curse effect, and the save DC is Charisma based. Recovery (Ex) At the end of her turn, Morrigan can automatically shake off any one condition affecting her except for dead. If she is suffering from multiple conditions, she chooses which to remove each round. Visions of Murder (Su) By concentrating, Morrigan can see through the eyes of any crow within 100 miles that she chooses. Warrior Fey (Ex) Morrigan gains 11 bonus combat feats, and is treated as being a 20th level fighter for the purposes of qualifying for feats. She is proficient in all simple and martial weapons, in shields and in all armor.

Fey Realms An Eldest gains the following additional powers while in its realm (the statistics above do not include these abilities):

Mythic: An Eldest functions as a 10th mythic rank creature, including the mythic power ability (10/day, surge +1d12). It may expend uses of mythic power to use the mythic versions of any spell-like ability denoted with an asterisk (*) just as if the ability were a mythic spell.

Use of the following spell-like abilities at will—demand, discern location, fabricate, major creation, and polymorph any object (when used on objects or creatures that are native to the realm, the polymorph duration factor increases by 6).

Use of the following spell-like abilities once per day—dimensional lock*, miracle (limited to physical effects that manipulate the realm or to effects that are relevant to the Eldest’s areas of concern)

Heightened Awareness (Ex): An Eldest gains a +10 insight bonus on Perception checks and Initiative checks.
