Disaster Lineage Timeline and Ages
Here is a Disaster Lineage timeline that actually makes sense and includes all members, plus their relative ages for each event. For all my fic writers who also get a headache trying to figure them out.
I tried my best to keep the relative ages the same as what Canon or Legends gives us with 2 exceptions (Xanatos and Komari). So while the dates may not be canon accurate for becoming a padawan or Knighting, their ages are. The grey cells mark how old the person was when they died.
I've given permission for this to be on the SW Reference wiki. Here!
Enjoy and hope you have fun with it! Detailed explanations for birth-date changes below the cut!
Buckle in Folks.
OK, so Dooku must be aged up minimum 5 years in order to train Rael before Qui-Gon and so Qui-Gon can train Feemor and Xanatos before Obi-Wan. Rael has to be at least 10 years older than Qui-Gon so that he can be knighted when Qui-Gon is padawan age. Canon has Dooku take on Rael at 22 so I kept that cause it's funny and that means Dooku has to be older than his canon birthday of 102BBY to fit both in.
Neither of Qui-Gon's birthdays work if you want to fit the other lineage members in. This is not at all annoying. 80BBY(canon) has him too young to train both Feemor and Xanatos before Obi-Wan and 92BBY(legends) has him being 17 when he becomes a padawan if Dooku trains Rael before him. 86BBY is my magical average that just barely works. I use fanon that Qui-Gon takes over Feemor's training cause it's the only way to fit him in without making Qui-Gon too old, thus domino-affecting Rael and Dooku.
Does this mean the 4 of them are all knighted between ages 21-23? Yes? Is that insane? Yes, but alas it's the only way I could make the timeline work.
Komari is the only birth-date I've moved for non-math reasons, her actual birthday is 62BBY, same as Nim, but that makes her 18 at Galidraan and I felt that was too young personally. (She kills 20 Mandos singlehandedly there. yeah. wtf)
Xanatos's birthday and death date are the same but I made him older when he fell because Legends has him as 16 and that really feels too young, especially since he was considered for the goddamn Knight Trials when he fell and we know Anakin was considered exceptionally young when he was knighted at 19. It makes for some nice parallels between them. Plus all the shit Xanatos gets up to after he runs off, he should be a little older to pull it off.

Younger Days - Nimardril
I wasn't sure where to start with fics since I have so many (most of which I won't ever post) but I decided to stick with the LOTRO universe for now, so here's a short little one about bratty/emo Nim when she was much younger. Curonthos is another of my characters who was friends with her deceased father, and tried to set her on the right path after her parents were gone. More about Nimardril is here.
"Do you want to end up like your father?" Curonthos hissed as he grasped Nimardril's shoulders, relieved that she felt solid beneath his palms, yet disheartened by how much the flash of defiance in her dark eyes reminded him of her father.
"I killed them all, didn't I?" She answered belligerently, sounding for all the world like a petulant child, and causing him to remember how very young she actually was.
She should be safe in Caras Galadhon, learning from books, or perhaps in the training yard, not out here covered in the blood of orcs she'd just dispatched, seeing things hard for even adults to see. Why had Firithdir decided to take her along with him from such a young age? She seemed to be a natural with bow and blade, sure, but not much else in life, and he worried for her future.
Curonthos sighed, already regretting his words twofold. Firithdir hadn't gotten killed by being reckless, but rather an orc archer getting a particularly lucky shot, and he shouldn't try to scare Nimardril by invoking her father's death. She seemed so keen on putting herself in harm no matter what he tried to tell her, though, and all he could do was teach her better techniques, so that she might more easily survive. And who was he to deprive them of a good fighter, who wished to be there, when so many did not?
"You did. But please wait for the others next time." He admonished in a more gentle tone. "It would be a a great pity if you were taken-"
She shrugged out of his grasp with a noise of disapproval. "I'll just have to not let myself get taken, then, huh?" She moved past him back toward the treeline, and the safety of the Wood, not once having met his gaze.
Hanging his head for a moment, Curonthos wondered if he'd messed up somewhere, or if there'd ever been any hope for her at all. It had been easy enough for he and Luinlalaith to say they'd look out for Nimardril when her mother had left Lothlórien in an attempt to join Firithdir in the Undying Lands, even imagining she might be something like the child he had never given Luinlalaith, yet that was not to be. The girl grew more angry and wild by the day, and the only thing he found to channel her emotions and energy was to keep training her, and letting her help with duties at the border. Luinlalaith tried to get her interested in other things closer to home, but it never worked, and both of them despaired. He could only hope that in time, she might grow more calm, or at least more keen on self preservation. Truly he worried that he would fail the daughter, just as he had the father, and so long ago, his brother too.
~~~
Nimardril kicked the door shut behind her, cursing as she tried to brush a strand of hair from her face, still stiff with dark blood. It had been a quick, and thankfully uneventful trek back home from the border, and Curonthos had even suggested she come back to he and his wife's flet for a bath and a meal, but she had refused, just wanting to be alone.
Alone. That's what she was here, in this home that was once her family's. In this forest. In this world.
She knew she should be kinder to her father's friends, they were only trying to help her, yet it felt as if they were trying to replace her parents, and why should she have parents, if hers were gone? Sometimes she wondered if she should have gone westward with her mother, but she had refused, stupidly thinking she could avenge her father somehow.
As her eyes took in the dim mess of the room, she sank down against the door, an unbearable tightness in her chest threatening to burst its way out. This place had once felt so safe to her. She could remember coming in with her father after walking in the woods, having fresh bread baked by her mother, all of them gathered by the hearth to talk and tell tales.
Now the hearth was dark, and the chairs broken in a fit of rage some months ago. She felt a little ashamed of that, and thought maybe to repair them, yet she just couldn't muster the energy to truly care. She didn't want the chairs, or this house with its taunting memories of a happy time. She just wanted to be fighting orcs, or at least hunting. Those were the only times she felt good or useful, and her father had always been proud of her skills.
She looked to the toppled bookcase, the tomes her parents had so lovingly collected strewn about the floor. She had promised her mother she'd continue her studies, but she'd stopped everything that wasn't related to scouting or fighting. She could read and write, she reasoned. She didn't need to do it well, though she did miss having stories told to her, and the comfort of them helping her relax.
With a sigh, she picked herself up off the floor, trudging to the washbasin in a kitchenette now empty of food. She found the washbasin empty too, and somehow this broke some last thread of control within her, and she began to sob, her hot tears making tracks upon her dirty face, and plinking into the basin one by one, as if she could fill it with her sorrow.
Of course it was empty. She'd not filled it before she left, just as she'd not bothered to clean the house, bring up wood for a fire, or stock the pantry. Her parents had done all of that, and though it was certainly well within her own capabilities, she missed having someone take care of her.
For the second time that night, she found herself on the floor, this time struggling to breathe as the sobs forced their way painfully up her throat. She tried to calm her galloping heart. She tried to tell herself that she certainly did not need anyone to take care of her, but it didn't work, at least until exhaustion won out, and her crumbled from, knees hugged to hollow chest, drifted into the land of dreams, where she still sometimes found wonder.

Rebellion
So I found back this extremely old fic I wrote like, last year about an au where Dream and Nightmare would be on the same side instead of enemies. This is their sort of backstory on how they’ve turned the way they did and what better moment to post it than on their birthday? Man, the twins are super old now- How old are they again? 507? I don’t even remember-
Warnings: Violence, blood, language, mention of abuse and the villagers. They literally deserve a warning.
Synopsis: on the date of their birthday, the Apple Twins decided to spill the things they have hidden from each other for the longest time. What ensues is simple, the twins take the liberty to give themselves quite the special gift…
***
It was their birthday today and they would both officially turn 6 on this holy day. Dream had the happiest smile Nightmare saw him have and he kinda felt bad for planning to ruin the mood but he had to tell him.
The eldest tugged on the bright one’s sleeve and the other one turned to him, a curious smile on his face. “Yes, brother?”
“Dream…” Nightmare gulped. He can’t back away now. “Can we talk?”
Upon his brother’s nervous gaze, the guardian of positivy’s smile faltered and he frowned, slightly wondering what had him in such a mood. “Of course brother, what would you like to talk about?”
The other guardian fiddled with his fingers, absolutely fidgeting in place. “It’s about the villagers…”
***
“THEY DID WHAT?!” Nightmare flinched at Dream’s expression, having never seen the other one, so bubbly and cheerful in normal terms, so angered before. A seer replaced his usual smile and if looks could kill, that poor tree would have already been buried ten feet underground now.
“I can’t believe them!” He continued, ignoring Nightmare’s attempts to calm him down. “They told me they would leave you alone if I let them do what they wanted to without telling you!”
Well, that got the older one to arch an eyebrow. Didn’t the villagers love Dream? “What do you mean? What did they do?”
“They—“ He cut himself off, a hand clamped over his mouth to silence himself. His widened eyes glistened in horror at what he just said, making Nightmare worry about what was going on. “Oh no, I’ve said too much…”
“Dream.” Nightmare called out, crawling closer to the shorter boy. The latter looked up at him, slightly shaking. “Do you trust me?” Dream nodded vigorously, his hand still on his lips. “Then tell me what they did to you.”
Dream shook his head. Nightmare frowned. “I’ve already told you about my side of the story, it’s only fair if you do so as well right?”
The positive one stayed silent. “I won’t judge you.” Nightmare raised his arms in a sign of peace and at last, a sigh escaped Dream.
“You’re right…” He scrunched his shoulders and began explaining everything to him.
***
“I’m going to kill these assholes!” Nightmare shouted at the end of Dream’s explanation, standing up quickly. “How dare these little bastards—“
“Brother, language…” Dream half-heartedly scolded him, an absent look in his eyes. He seemed to be thinking about something and by that look alone, Nightmare could tell it was not a thing that would be considered morally good.
The older one raised an eyebrow at him. “What are you thinking about?”
“What you just said… Maybe we should do it?” Dream stared Nightmare in the eye with a determined gaze and the older one choked on his spit when he noticed how serious Dream was about it.
“What in the— Dream, we can’t kill them!” He looked scandalized for a moment, the thought alone sending a shiver down his spine. He really couldn’t imagine them murdering the villagers in cold blood.
“Why not?” The other simply replied, continuing to stare at his big brother. “They’ve hurt us and you know Mom would agree.”
Nightmare sputtered, not having any argument about that. He did have a point.
“… Okay but if Mom asks, it was your idea.”
“Sounds fair to me.”
***
Things went wrong.
Like very wrong.
When Dream and Nightmare had begun the slaughter, they were progressing without much issue, their strength far superior to the villagers’. Maybe their shock helped out a bit but either way, they were at an advantage.
It all went to shit though when they shot Dream’s good arm, making him unable to use his bow.
As strong as the twins were, they were only two while the villagers were hundred, the difference in numbers was bound to go against them at one point.
So there they were, running toward the Tree of Emotions at top speed while a herd of monsters chased after them, yelling and attempting to shoot arrows.
Dream was clutching onto his injured arm, gritting his teeth and inwardly praying his asthma wasn’t going to act up now. The situation was already bad enough, no need to add onto it.
After what felt like a century, the duo finally reached the tree, breathless.
A few meters away, the villagers screeched as roots blocked their progress and tried to fend them off. It seems like Nim was willing to help them this one time.
Once the worry about the villagers catching up to them faded away, Nightmare, the older twin, rushed toward Dream in panic, asking how his brother was holding up.
“I’m okay.” He let out a ragged breath, straightening up and smiling at him. “But we need to do something soon, Mom won’t be able to hold them up forever.”
As if on cue, a messy spirit appeared before them, pink dress sticking out like a sore thumb in the meadow of green.
“Would you look at that, the yellow one is finally using his brain.” Her voice was glitching, probably due to the need to focus on the fight at hand. Never had she used so many of her roots before. “You guys have like 5 minutes before these vile creatures manage to breach through so whatever you decide to do, do it fast.”
Before either of them could say anything, the figure disappeared as fast as it appeared, blowing their hair with a cold breeze.
Dream chewed on his nail nervously, trying to get the fog off of his brain.
Meanwhile, Nightmare looked up and his eyes glued themselves on the black and golden apples gleaming in the sunlight.
“Dream.” He called out, putting an end to Dream’s pitiful attempt to come up with a solution. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”
The latter opened his mouth, about to ask what he meant before he followed his gaze. He let out an “oh” before chuckling.
“Mom’s gonna kill us for that.” Nightmare got closer to the imposing plant, sending Dream a smirk.
“Personally, I would rather be killed by Mom than those assholes.” Dream joined him at the side of the tree, nodding.
“Yeah agreed.”
They both managed to get a hand on their respective apple and as Nim finally processed what her two children were about to do, they gave each other a smirk before biting into it as the mother’s scream echoed in the background

I come to you all with more Nim— this sketch was gifted to me by my lovely friend @dumpsterhipster who commissioned this piece from the very talented @solsticeill0. Receiving it was a total surprise, and I cannot tell you how loudly I shrieked and how stupid my grin must have looked when I finally saw it. I am sobbing 😭
(you can read about Nim in my ongoing fic, The Illusionist)

are prismo and scarab in your daemon au?
hahaha ive seen how popular they seem to be but honestly no….the both of them wouldn’t have daemons to begin with (most adventure time characters wouldn’t have daemons tbf) so they’d basically just be the same as they are in canon, which wouldn’t be very interesting for me to write, yknow? like, im writing up to when fionna and cake meet Simon, so probably prismo will at least have a line of dialogue or two, but otherwise nah.
they will both be remembered <3 fun parts of the show! simply don’t add anything in a daemon au

I just read your Heerim fic on AO3 and had to come tell you how much I loved it, and I’m so sad I didn’t watch the show as it aired, following along (I binged after the fact)
Your fic really, really tied in so many aspects of canon all woven in so perfectly. How can one even write such good things
Thank you, sweet anon! I'm very glad you enjoyed the show and the fic! Writer nim really put in all the building blocks of THE love story in canon, so it wasn't too difficult to arrange them in a way that led to the most logical ending 😊

Thinking of an au where both qui gon and nim live and dooku doesn't fall. They all stay together as a jedi group adventuring the galaxy. The group consists of qui gon, dooku, obi wan, nim, anakin, rael, ahsoka and possibly nim's padawan. Yoda tags along sometimes too
