Gen V Drabble, Word Count: 588
When Marie heard the news, she was inconsolable. The headlines were everywhere: Vice President Victoria Nueman and daughter Zoe found dead. The story was terrible- the two had been killed at the dinner table, lasers slicing their bodies. The headline came a week after Victoria agreed to help. Three days after the virus went missing from her bunker. Sixteen days before Zoe’s fourteenth birthday. Marie and Jordan had already bought her a gift- two tickets to ‘The Seven on Ice’.
Jordan hadn’t tried to understand, they were just there. Together they and Emma held her as she cried. Sad at the lost her second family. Angry that it had happened. Frustrated in the fact that she could do nothing. 
Butcher hadn’t been as hurt. When he saw the news he had just sighed and said that they needed a change of plans. Everyone had stared at the man, shocked by his lack of empathy for their newfound ally. Hughie offered condolences on the man’s behalf, stating Butcher was always an ass and that she shouldn’t take it too hard. Everyone else was sympathetic, with Kimiko even offering her a sad smile and a strong hug.
A change of plans had apparently meant raising the dead. Two weeks after Victoria’s death, a mere 3 days after her funeral, Queen Maeve had come to headquarters. Not the Maeve that Marie had read about in books or seen in interviews, a supe that was strong, confident and took no prisoners. No, this Maeve was different. Still strong but in a way that seemed less from being untouchable and more from being touched living through it. This Maeve carried a gun everywhere, always sat facing windows, and wore an eyepatch.
When Marie first saw her she was shocked by the woman’s existence. She was wearing a sweater and jeans and holding two duffle bags, one for her and one for Elena- a woman whom Marie would meet later. Maeve had looked over to where she was sitting with Jordan, Cate, Emma and Sam and whispered something to Butcher. The conversation was short and ended with Butcher saying something that sounded a lot like a genuine ‘thank you’, something that Marie had never heard the man say in her two months of knowing him. 
“I’m Maggie,” she introduces. Her voice was deep, something Marie wasn’t expecting after years of watching high pitched press junkets. “I’m here as a favor to Annie, and Annie only.” Eyes flickered to the blonde women typing away on a computer. Though she pretended not to listen, Marie could see faint blush coat her cheeks. “I’m going to try and train you guys on how to kill Homelander.”
Marie's heart leapt at the words, looking to M.M for confirmation. The man avoided her eye and Marie focused back on Maggie. “You’re not a supe anymore,” Marie comments, staring into her bloodstream.
“Yeah, no shit. I had a chance to kill Homelander, to really get rid of him for good.” Maggie lets out a deep sigh, shutting her eyes tight. “But I didn’t. I took down Soldier Boy, and risked my life for that piece of shit, and hundreds of others.” She lets out a bitter laugh. “All because fucking Kansas over there.”
Annie turned in her chair, her face apologetic. “Maggie, I wouldn’t have asked if-”
“It’s fine, just…it’s fucking fine.” From beside her, Elena places a soothing hand on her arm. Maggie took a deep breath, before looking back at the group. “No going back now kids.”

Then there were two…
Fenrys x Reader x Connall
Sad one again (Not sorry😉)
*Requested*
(Lol probably some spelling mistakes)
TW-death and Mention of SA (not reader) and whippings
Part 2 coming soon…
You could remember the last time you saw your mate,of course you could. It was after you and Fenrys had escaped Maeve’s grasp and joined Aelin’s court.
Maeve had taken an interest in you when you were a mere child of 6. Your family lived at the sea and on an incredibly stormy day,the oceans killed your mother and father,leaving you washed up on the hard gravel floor until Another Fae found you.
She took you to Maeve after seeing glowing read lines of liquid fly and glide around you in your sleep.
Bloodbending.
An extremely rare ability and Maeve was loving it,having you trained every single day until you turn 50 then you joined the Cadre as one of Maeve’s bloodsworn. It was there,you met your mates.
Fenrys and Connall.
Complete opposites,whilst Connall was brooding and protective,Fenrys was playful and never failed to make you laugh.
Over the years,serving Maeve was hard,you’d have to torture a lot of people because of your Power and as well as that was horrible,the thing that kept you up at night was the fact that on most nights,Fenrys was being forced into Maeve’s bed. At first it was Connall and you remember running into his Arms and both of you breaking down. He had a hickey,a hickey you didn’t make…
You tried to make excuses for him to be busy in the times Maeve wanted him but eventually she caught on,thank gods she didn’t find out you were mates but she figured out that you were trying to stop their meetings.
As a result you were whipped in front of him,5 jagged lines forever down your back…Forever.
After that he visited you everyday,just holding you and when Fenrys came back from a mission seeing his brothers state and your scars,He was horrified.
The three of you spent days talking about it,only to come to the conclusion there was absolutely nothing any of you could do unless you wanted maeve to strike again.
But what happened next broke your heart even more.
Fenrys took his brothers place and wouldn’t tell you when it was happening so you couldn’t anger maeve when trying to stop it.
For YEARS
And over those years,you would like to say that your mating bond got stronger but alas that wasn’t the case,every time Fenrys came back,you tried to best to make him feel okay,little did you know Connall grew jealous of this attention,grew resentment towards his brother and maybe even you.
The last time you saw Connall is when you were sent with Fenrys and Gavriel to hunt down Lorcan and instead ended joining Aelin and her court.
Then,the worst day of your life came,your best friend had been taken by Maeve and so had you mate.
Both of them were.
You couldn’t explain how much you missed Connall over the time you were with Aelin.
The only thing keeping you going was the fact that when Maeve was gone,you would have them both back in your arms.
But no.
She had taken them from you again and it was killing you.
You were called to the forest and found an injured Fenrys,when He took the blood oath to Aelin and she ordered him to live,he awoke but gave you the most devastating knews of your immortal life.
Connall was dead.
Maeve forced him to kill himself.
You were in a tent when he told you.
“No…” you said in denial,eyes watering
“Y/N…”Fenrys said calmly trying to
“NO…no.please tell me it’s not true,please please please,it can’t be true!” You we’re hysterical,running makeup,crying,you couldn’t even see anything through your own tears until eventually you fell to the ground in a pathetic puddle,crying your heart out as Fenrys held you close and cried his own silent tears.
_______________________________________________
You couldn’t even rejoice,yeah Maeve and Erwan are dead but so was Connall. Balls and Banquets were thrown in honour of Dorian,Aelin,Manon and their courts but you attends none.
It was too painful to see how life went on without your mate.
“Y/N” Fenrys said,looking around the corner of the room
You would still,numb
Ever since the reality kicked in that you no longer had Connall,it’s like you were dead inside.
The only people who you could talk to would Fen and Rowan.
You and Rowan had always been friends and you remembered every night he cried himself to sleep in your arms over Lyria’s death.
Now he did the same for you.
Fen kneeled in front of you. You loved him more than anything but you couldn’t help but see Connall’s face. So your broken solution? Don’t look at him.
Rowan followed him and stood by you as you sat on your balcony.
“Sweetheart,we think maybe it would be good if you went out,there’s a ball tonight,you don’t have to stay long,just come out for a bit please” Fen almost started to cry seeing you like this,he had never felt more alone
You just looked at him and saw Connall,your breathing speeding up and tears started flowing down your cheeks and suddenly it all clicked for Fenrys,he was identical to his brother expect for his hair. Everytime he tried helping you,it just hurt you more.
He was hurting you.
Tears started flowing from his eyes and you had the horrible realisation that he blamed himself.
Gods,you never wanted this to happen
“Wha- Fen-no,no,no that’s not-”
“It’s fine” he jumped up and kept looking down trying to his face from you “don’t you have to come…I’m sorry” he voice broke as he pretty much ran away
You ruined it,
One mate was dead
One mate thought you hated him
And you were a grieving mess
Looking back at Rowan you heart sped up too your makeup dripped down your face. You’d finally broke. Your best friend scooped you up in his arms and you stayed there and let your pain swallow you whole…
PLEASE SUGGESTIONS OR REQUEST <3
THERE WILL BE A PART 2!!

I have no idea how the hell meave survived that fall after being depowered and also I don't give a fuck. She's alive, she's in love, and she's living her best cottagecore life somewhere very far from homelander. That's all that matters.

Tumblr media
I screamed, and I didn’t stop screaming for what felt like hours.
I didn’t know where my friends were, but my mind was all consumed by pain.  They had burned my hands.  Over, and over, and over again.
Now they were breaking bones, and I could help the sounds I made or the tears that fell as I pleaded for it to stop.
“You know how to make this stop little girl.”  The thing in my father said, and I looked at him through my haze of tears and pain.
“Fuck you.”  I spat in his face, and he obviously didn’t like that, because he snarled as he reared back.
“Don’t stop.  No matter how much she fucking begs.”  He hissed, and I screamed once again as hot, searing pain flashed across my vision.
My back was torn into a million bloody pieces, and my hands were in their own type of hell every time they touched anything, and as they threw me to the ground again and again, my hands felt shattered too.
That goes on for a few more minutes after he leaves, and I’m convinced this was where I was going to die.
At least Azriel was safe.
“Stop.”  A silky female voice rang out, and I let out a sob of pain and relief as my battered body hit the ground.
“Y/N, right?”  The female said, and I looked up to see a tall fae woman, pale with dark hair and eyes of shimmering violet.  She burn scars on almost every inch of skin that I could see.  She was wearing black velvety dress that left very little to the imagination.
I would have wondered if she were related to rhys if not for her fair complexion and lack of wings.
I nod, unsure if I could even form words.
She tuts, kneeling down and lifting my face to examine me.  “I’m sorry for my companions.  Unguided. their methods of getting what they want can be rather crude.”
“What do you even want from me?”  I ask, my voice sounding as broken as my spirit.
I didn’t know how much longer I could hold out under this.
She smiled, using some sort of darkness to detach my chains from the floor.  She extended a hand, helping me to my feet, and even letting me lean against her.
I hated it.  I hated it because I knew these types of people, and she wasn’t being kind, or sweet, or nice at all.
She was a snake in the grass.
Luckily, I was one too.
I let myself lean on her, seem more weak than I was as I built my strength back up.
“My name is Meave.  I come from a very awful place.  I hate it there.  It much reminds me of this place, stifling and dark.  Eating up the good in the world.”  She hummed as she brought me to what looked like a well, but it’s walls were made completely of that black ebony.
The water inside one amplified that darkness, making it look depthless.
I had a place of my own, where I ruled over people.  Happy people who I kept safe.
She waved a hand over the dark water and the image of a beautiful, but terrifying female of flame and glory danced through a hall, wearing some sort of amulet as she basked in the cheers of people kneeling before her.
“She took my people, and now they live under a queen that cares not for their happiness, only her glory and praise.”  She said, her voice thick with hatred.
She touches the water longingly, and it shifts to the image of a beautiful city.  “I need to get back there, to my people.”
I force myself not to flinch away as she touches my cheek gently, bringing me over to look her in the eyes once again.
She petted my hair softly, speaking in a sorrowful tone, “There is a way to get back, but we need help.  We need your help.”
“Your shadows are more powerful than you even know, they can open this portal, and let us go back to this beautiful place and protect it.”  She took my face in both of her hands.  “Please, we need your help.”
If she was really as pure hearted as she claimed, she wouldn’t have let her ‘friends’ torture me or Azriel.
I nod, a plan coming together in my mind.  “Oh, wow.  Of course I’ll help you, that sounds absolutely dreadful.”  I looked up at her with wide eyes, making myself look as clueless and lost as possible.  I even managed to make my lip wobble a bit I think.
And as I hoped, she latched onto the line I threw out.  “Thank you so much.  Almost everyone we have met here has tried to hurt us in one way or another.”
Bullshit.
“I can understand that.  This place has always been cruel.”  I say, smiling at her.
She gives me back a little smile, removing the chains from my wrists.  “I can help guide you through the process, let’s head up to the well.”
Leading me up to the well, I swear I could feel something tapping at my mental shields.  I felt sick, realizing Meave was trying to sneak through my shields.
I reinforced them, keeping my face happy and plain, as if there wasn’t a thing wrong in the world.
She glanced at me, but kept searching for a weakness in my shields as we made it up to the well.  “Just use your shadows to try and reach for that place I showed you, they should be able to tell what to do from there.”
I went to place a hand on the edge of the well, hissing and drawing back as my already burnt hand throbbed from the sensation of the stones.
I brought my shadows up around me, and Meave watched with greedy eyes as I brought all the shadows I could up and around the well.
And then everything exploded.
My shadows took out the supports in seconds, tearing down the walls as screams rang out.
I stumbled as Meave grabbed for me.  “WHAT DID YOU DO?”  She shouted, reaching for me again.
I dodged out of the way, turning and running as rocks plummeted down from the ceiling.  I don’t know what happened to the female, but after a few minutes I no longer heard her voice as I ran through the crumbling caves.
No one tried to stop me, all of them preoccupied with their own survival.
I ran as quickly as I could with a broken arm and ribs.  The only problem was that I had never been in this part of the caves, and I had no idea which way to go.
A large pile of rocks crumbled in front of me, making me stumble back into the chest of some male.
I turned to look, but they wrapped their arms around me, and I gasped as their scent hit me.
Azriel.
Shadows quickly wrapped around us, and we were suddenly in a different section of the caves, one I recognised.
Azriel leaned against the wall, still holding me tightly even as his uneven breaths told me he was struggling.
“Are you okay?”  He asked weakly, letting me go only enough so I could turn around.
I wasn’t, but I didn’t want to talk about it right now.  So when I turned around, I looked up into his tired, pain laced eyes, saying softly, “I love you.”
He rested his forehead on mine, shaking a little bit.  “I love you too my little shadow.”

Elain: “He snapped your wings, he broke your bones.” Cassian: “It will take more than that to kill me.” Elain: “No it will not.”
What if Elain wasn't talking about Cassian and Hybern? What if it was Cassian later on in life? Or do we think that Nesta with her power over death, blocked his death from reaching him? “Will I hear the earthworms writhing through the soil? Or the stretching of roots? Will the bird of fire come to sit in the trees and watch me?” Dusk coming back to life. Or the leylines (roots) activating with Bryce opening the portal. The Midgard worm which appears to eat / be attracted to magic. Bird of fire is Vassa
"I can hear your heart beating through the stone. I can hear hers too" Vesperus and Nesta? I can't remember who she said this to. On rereading Koschei and Vesperus? Or Koschei and Aelin?
"I can hear her crying. Everyone thinks she is dead, but she isn't. She was changed, like I was."
Who is this! Another made person? Another seer? "I can hear the sea. Even at night. Even in my dreams. The crashing sea—and the screams of a bird made of fire.”
The sea, Dusk? The bird of fire Vassa? Why is she screaming?
“They sold her—to … to some darkness, to some … sorcerer-lord …”
The human queens sold Vassa to Koschei.
“I can never see him. What he is. There is an onyx box that he possesses, more vital than anything … save for them. The girls. He keeps other girls—others so like her—but she … By day, she is one form, by night, human again.”
He has his heart (soul?) trapped in an onyx box, and he is looking for the key. Reminds me of what the Bone Carver said, that the blood of a power High Fae trapped Koschei and her blood still runs through the humans. He is trapping humans to see if they will open the box for him. Vassa has "Blue eyes" and "reddish gold hair" - like Meave? Like Theia? I actually think that Stryga was Koschei's wife and stole his heart locking it in a box as punishment for something. Similar to Meabh and Erawan.
“There is … a lake. Deep in—in the continent, I think. Hidden amongst mountains and ancient forests. He keeps them all at the lake.” “Other women like her?” “Yes—and no. Their feathers are white as snow. They glide across the water—while she rages through the skies above it.”
Is this Vassa the Firebird (Mala) and Mab (as a swan)?
This reads to me like a retelling of the Children of Lir.
“I can hear her—crying.” “Everyone thinks she’s dead." “But she’s not. Only—different. Changed. As I was.”
Who is she? Briallyn? Mab? Who people think is dead? Her crown was never recovered? Another made person, mortal to immortal? Miryam?
“She stared into the darkness above. “I think they used it to … to trap their enemies and their enemies’ children into the stone itself.”
The Asteri trapping the fae into stone in the prison? Looking up at the darkness, to the sky, the stars / asteri on different planets. Who are their enemies? Aelin, the fae, and the starborn. "He did. He saw me. He will not now.”
He? As in Hybern? The Cauldron? Koschei?
“It made sense, I supposed, that Azriel alone had listened to her. The male who heard things others could not … Perhaps he, too, had suffered as Elain had before he understood what gift he possessed.
The biggest questions for me are the flaming feather on the snow.
