Hello!! I’ve been reading Little Blade for around three years now—I think actually four?? Around the first couple of chapters at least and I just wanted to say: thank you so much for all the fun nights I’ve had reading your fic! I’ve re-read it to keep entertained on long flights and just for fun. Heck I even gush to my friends (who sadly aren’t in the fandom) about how much your writing style enamores me and the way you explore characters relationships! Especially the PLOT I am always here for the romance with plot ^^

Speaking of plot 👀 I also had a question about the Druid “Erik” from a couple of chapters ago! If it’s not going to be revealed later in the plot ofc. He was such a big part of the infiltration mission on Keith’s end (and honestly kinda cute, he’s just a lil guy who imprinted on Keith!) and the big mystery of how he functioned and all—but he disappeared and I don’t think he was ever mentioned again besides Lotor in a dialogue exchange in chapter 22 or 23?

Like, he’s so interesting?? I wanna know why he focused so much on Keith and called him Rhyal??? Was it because he was aware it was targeting Keith? Or is smth in Keith just Inherently “Rhyal” to other Galra? Is he self sufficient in anyway? Do people in his condition need to be cared for or can they survive without eating at all? He was described as “leaking” so can you somehow fix that and rebuild his quintence?? (I probably misspelled that) if so!!! Does he even remember himself or is it like being “born” again??? I just!! Have so many questions and wanna see him again!! He was given a name, so going by most rules of literature that means he’ll be returning no?

I’m sorry if I just missed a line that explained it or not i just thought to ask since I could. Thank you again so much for writing and sharing your fic with us!

😭😭😭😭 you're so very sweet and ilysm thank you!!

Erik was a beautiful accident for me—one I never explicitly planned for that came about as I was writing that chapter purely by chance—so I'm genuinely thrilled to know that you love them as I do! I had hoped that their reasoning behind repeating "rhyahl" would become clear after the resolution of that chapter, but I suppose I did leave it somewhat ambiguous: though Keith thought Erik was using Lotor's nickname for him, they were actually trying to warn him about the monster that lurked ahead! ...Though why they were warning Keith specifically is up to you to decide, as that's not something I'll be disclosing just yet ;)

Though initially Erik's purpose was solely confined to chapter 18, I grew unreasonably attached while writing, and given that they were largely so well-received I have since minorly tweaked to the plot to allow for them to make a reappearance in the (distant) future! I shan't say much more than that, but what I can tell you is that their quintessence was drained by the rhyahl to such a severe level (far beyond that which Keith himself suffered) that,,, the person they were before is essentially dead and gone, and that which Keith met was an entirely blank slate.

When Keith glances back a second time to gauge their reaction, Erik’s ears prick up slightly and they click their tongue with a fluttering trill that neither Matt nor Hunk seem to hear, and it’s so… it’s so sad, not just the sound but all of it, as if in bearing witness to this leaking vessel’s ethereal gait turned slurred and stumbling, Keith himself has been burdened by a hollow ache in his chest, because whoever this Druid was before—whatever terrible things they might have done in the name of Haggar or the Empire or even Sa itself—they simply aren’t anymore. They just don’t exist. Keith’s stomach takes a swooping, sickening swan-dive as the full force of what it means for a living being to suffer such a monumental loss of quintessence hits him; this Druid isn’t simply ‘leaking’ in the abstract, but rather comatose, and haunting their own corpse. - Little Blade, chapter 18

#''just a lil guy who imprinted on Keith'' indeed ♡#I'M SORRY ERIK I GAVE YOU SUCH A SAD BACKSTORY FOR NO REASON AT ALL #Ao3 Little Blade #sa screams back #keith kogane #i feel like i need an erik tag now dammit #druid of the opera

i like to HC that the Grandmaster was like “here Loki :) I’m gifting you an outfit :) it’s in my signature colours gold blue and red :) You should wear it :)”

and Loki went :/ and said “I hate red” and put his own boots on instead and then went “bad shade” to the gold cape just to spite the man and changed it to that yellow because “it just works better” and he got away with a 90% dark blue outfit that ended up barely matching the GM who was trying to woo him through clothes and didn’t kill him because he hasn’t gotten what he wants yet all because he was acting nice and smiling through it with a customer service face

#someone said all the Ace Loki headcanons are angst #but #have you considered Loki is generally just angst?#so anyway #please imagine Loki tearing apart the GMs gift and getting away with it but barely #''ew I don't like bright blu--'' ''what :) was :) that :) loki :)'' ''nothing Grandmaster. you don't mind if I darken this do you?''#like he can't outright disobey the Grandmaster or he'll be killed/thrown into the ring but he also really doesn't want him to have ideas #so he just minorly tweaks things up #toeing the line that lets him do SOME stuff but also stay away from the s*x and all #dying over the Grandmaster gifting Loki some elaborate glitter outfit after Loki said he likes gold and Loki turns up in yellow #''what about the boots I gifted you? they were sexy :('' ''i think my black ones are fine :) and hate red :)''#''well at least you still put on the leather--'' *goes to touch* ''this is a repurposed ikea bag actually :)'' *touch=crinkle plastic noise*#Loki foils every plan with excuses of 'trying to acclimatize to the culture' and 'i don't like it'#''if you're trying to acclimatize to the culture you should sleep with me we're notorious for... culture... :)~''#loki very visibly disgusted stuffing breadsticks into his tiny tiny fake pockets: i have to go #grandmaster sweating: no wait! we also have a gladiator ring! i'll let you have some starting credits!#loki: ...i'm listening #the grandmaster has to adapt to not getting what he wants and trying to bribe with things other than The Sex...to eventually try get The Sex #there we go a happy ace loki on sakaar HC :) see I managed fine :)#(loki throws away all the red that's given to him and it has nothing to do with him thinking thor is dead okAY)

can u. can u do steves nips being pierced smut. pls xoxo love ur writing

Continuation of this

And I got another request for this too so gonna minorly combine two month old prompts.

anonymous asked: Oh gosh please! Billy getting to play with Steve's piercings. 👀🤪

Smut.

Billy was staring.

Steve was shirtless, examining his nipple piercings.

They looked good, a silver barbells through each nipple, nicely healed. Steve had gotten the barbells downsized today, the rods a little shorter.

He was sitting on Billy’s lap, playing with the curly hairs at the base of his neck, Billy’s hands warm on his hips.

“You can touch ‘em. If you want.” He slid his hands up, framing Steve’s chest.

He brushed his thumb over Steve’s left nipple.

Steve honest to God shivered.

“Fuck, they’re sensitive.” He rut into Billy’s lap, both of them hard in their jeans, their cocks pressing together. Billy grinned, tweaking both his nipples, flicking at the piercings.

Steve arched his back, pressing into Billy’s hands.

He had changed his septum piercing, had put in a little hoop. Billy thought it was kinda hot.

“Billy,” Steve whined when Billy tugged gently.

“You’re so sexy. Love all these piercings.” Steve gasped.

“Wanna blow you.” Heat pooled in Billy’s stomach. “Tongue rings make it feel real good.”

“Yeah, Baby. Suck me off.” Steve kissed him harshly, sliding off his lap and onto his knees.

He was settled between Billy’s legs, looking darkly up at him as he slowly undid his belt.

Billy’s mouth was fucking dry watching Steve, the way he liked over his bottom lip, slowly undoing the button, dragging the zipper down.

Steve pulled out his cock, licking up the entire length.

The silver ball on his tongue dragged along Billy’s cock, made his hips buck as he flicked it against the underside of his head.

He wrapped his lips around his dick, taking Billy as deep as he could go, rubbing his tongue, the metal piercing against him.

“You’re so fucking good at this.” Billy threaded his fingers into Steve’s hair, just holding on as Steve bobbed his head.

He pulled off, taking a few breaths, pumping Billy’s cock with his hand.

“Sometimes, I’d get so pissed off at my dad, I’d drive out to the city, and go to clubs out there, and blow guys twice my age in the bathroom.” He winked at Billy, going back down on him.

“Your daddy issues should not turn me on.” Steve shrugged at him, humming around his cock. Billy let his head fall back, his eyes fluttering closed.

Steve sucked his dick like a fucking champion, let spit get all over his chin, let it run down onto Billy’s jeans.

He knew just how to make his eyes all wide and innocent when he looked up at Billy, made himself look naive while his mouth was stuffed full of Billy’s cock, while he was choking himself with it.

“Stevie, I’m gonna cum.” Billy didn’t really care what happened next, if Steve was gonna spit or swallow, or even let him cum in his mouth in the first place, just as long as he got to cum.

But then Steve slammed his face down, took Billy in his fucking throat, swallowing and gagging around him.

Billy held his head down as he came, right down Steve’s throat.

He pulled off when Billy slumped back, his lips red and wet.

“Fuck, Sweet Thing.” Steve smirked.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.” Billy patted his lap, Steve stood up, eyes dark as he pushed his jeans off, straddling Billy’s lap.

“Y’know, I have one more piercing.” Billy raised an eyebrow.

“Yeah? What you got?” Steve leaned forward, licking the shell of his ear.

“You’re gonna have to find it.”

Billy groaned, running his fingers over his nipples again, making Steve moan.

He felt down his body, planting his hands under his ass and flipping them, laying Steve out on the couch. He kissed him roughly, licking over Steve’s tongue piercing.

He kissed down his neck, sucking a bruise on his collar bone.

He flicked each nipple ring with his tongue, pushing Steve’s thighs open.

And right there, a little silver ring on his perineum, right underneath his balls.

“Holy shit.”

“Got that one about two years ago.” Steve flicked at his own nipples. “My dad told me I’m worthless and I let some guy pop my cherry in the back seat of his Bentley. Got it pierced the next day.”

Billy looked back at Steve, got a glint in his eye.

“You really wanna stick it to him?”

“Always.”

“Let me fuck you in his bed.” Steve laughed, shoving Billy off him.

“I’ll lead the way.” Billy left his jeans in the living room.

The bed was fucking huge.

One of those Alaskan Kings, or something. Probably could fit four or five people.

Steve crawled up on it, turning over and spreading his legs, showing himself off, his hard cock, his tight hole, that fucking piercing.

Billy was hard again, ready to fucking go.

Steve shoved two fingers in his mouth, getting them sloppy wet, making a show of licking them up and down, tongue piercing on display. He took them out, dipping them down his body, sliding both inside himself.

Billy kneeled over him, just sitting between Steve’s legs, watching the show.

Steve moved quickly, just stretching himself out, getting ready for Billy’s cock.

He pulled them out, spitting on his hand, using it to slick Billy up.

“Don’t you got like, actual lube?”

“Yeah, but it’s upstairs and I’m lazy. Plus, I don’t mind it when it hurts a little.” Billy rolled his eyes.

“You going for fucked up kinky bingo?” Steve laughed, wrapping his legs around Billy’s waist.

“Already got a full bingo years ago.” He urged him closer.

Billy shook his head, lining himself up Steve’s hole, and pushing inside in one go.

It was a little dry, but Steve moaned, arching his back as he was filled.

Billy let him sit for a moment until Steve got inpatient, started whining and squirming, so Billy tugged on his nipples, and started to fuck him.

Precum began easing the way, and Steve was already a mess, Billy flicked his nipples, tugging on the rings, driving Steve wild.

His hands were gripping the silk sheets above his head, his chest pressing into Billy hands.

Billy leaned over him, getting one of the barbells in his mouth.

Steve took a shuddering breath as Billy’s tongue flicked at his nipple, giving both the exact same treatment.

He was fucking Steve shallowly, but going hard, his hips slapping into Steve’s ass.

Steve’s thighs were trembling around his waist, his back arching, his hips bucking.

He was wound tight, was fucking close.

And so Billy took one of the nipple piercings in his teeth, pulling it a tiny bit before letting it go.

Steve came all over himself, writhing as he did.

He was so fucking tight around Billy, his muscles only making him tighter.

Billy buried his face in Steve’s chest, dumping his load in Steve, sighing into his skin.

They lay together, Billy resting his head on Steve’s shoulder as Steve traced patterns on his skin.

“When you pull out,” Billy hummed, looking up at Steve. “Don’t be afraid to get cum on the sheets.”

Herald Commentary

I’m happy with the wide range of cards that people jumped into for this contest! There was a wide range, but a lot of modern ideas. I think because of Magic’s contemporary focus on legendary creatures, many people sought ideas that came from more recent sets. Looking at the entries, what do you think?

Let’s get to commentary!

@ace-hobo — Caller of Devastation

That’s a pretty cool name, and it’s an interesting flavor that you’re going for. I would have rather seen a card that focused on a singular card and follower, one that fits an isolated flavor. For the sake of this contest, it makes sense that you would name the cards. I could see this printed in a regular set as a card that tutored for a God creature card or something.

@aethernalstars — Caller of the Harvest

Alright, it took me a second to understand this card. I don’t think that almost-irremovable devotion is a pain in extended formats, but in a vacuum it’s a pain in the butt, and I’m not a huge fan. Still, a cool idea for mechanical execution. Still trying to figure out how a plant becomes a cleric. Additionally, those symbols: it should be “GW, T:” with the comma and space.

@cas-420 — Crackling Boltkin

Now this is fun. Honestly, I would have liked this card better as either a graveyard summon or a library summon, not both. I’m really proud of you for the wording on this, though. It’s a complex idea that you pulled off well. The double triggers plus the double search makes this card feel like it’s trying to do a little too much, but I like the name and I like the concept. It feels like a contemporary elemental.

@dabudder — Gerrard, Legacy Protector

It’s interesting to see white using the graveyard as a “keep this secret safe” kind of thing. I think. Man, that ability though... I can imagine this being pretty crazy broken in some capacity. Stacking a bunch of different legendary artifacts and big bombs or something... I don’t know, this card feels powerful and worrying but it probably isn’t broken. Small note: The card is just “Weatherlight” lol

@dimestoretajic — Yar-Kul, the Maggot

I actually remember reading about Yargle way back in the Dominaria days. Man, wish I could have afforded more Magic back then... Anyway. I personally find the “card within a card” concept pretty fun. There’s nothing really objectively wrong with this card. If I had to find a criticism, it feels minorly clunky that one legend is a search while one is just a sacrifice. Comparing that to that Reef Worm thing from the Commander set, it’s just a little iffy. But it fulfills the contest and I like it.

@ezurad — Mad Cultist

Looks like you forgot to change the name in that activated ability there? Always always proofread. Conceptually, I think I like this card. For a common, I would have added reminder text to the Madness instead of adding flavor text, as cool as the flavor is. Interesting take on an “any number of X” ability. This card also needs a shuffle clause after the search, FYI. Not a bad entry!

@fractured-infinity — Hunter’s Prey

I don’t know enough about the Ikoria storyline, and that’s on me. Regardless, I get it, and it’s a fine enough tutor even if it is pretty easy to abuse. It’s a unique take on the tutor, and it’s a cool flavor to set out prey to summon your Snapdax. Two wording criticisms: One, the name doesn’t need to be in quotes; and Two, the shuffle clause can be added to the previous sentence e.g. “When ~ dies, its owner may search their library for a card named Snapdax, Apex of the Hunt, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle their library.” Minor things, no biggie.

Genex-P — Herald of the Night

We’re going WAY back. I had to search this card because I was actually totally unfamiliar by name alone. I really like that! And holy crap, I didn’t know that Nightstalker was a real creature type. I do wish that the tokens contributed to the search, though. It feels weird that the first ability still requires you to have a different Nightstalker to activate it. Still, neat idea, pretty fun, and a great old callback with modern updates. Amazing flavor text, too.

@gollumni — Incarnation of Aclazotz

And I’m also not super familiar with Ixalan story, either, but that doesn’t mean this card isn’t cool. It’s complex, and it’s a little confusing to take things and turn them about, but the card itself plays well. I would really have liked for that token to have indestructible, personally, but that would have been a little too powerful for five mana. Still, cool concept, and an interesting “land tutor” in black.

@greensunzenith — Meroe Revane

Flavorfully, I think this card is really cool, even if I’m not positive that it makes sense considering... Would Nissa’s mom be on Zendikar where all this takes place? IDK. Anyway, mechanically, the fact that you have to have to have both the cards to do anything is a big ask. Nissa Revane, the card, was pretty egregious for asking to have that card itself. But yeah, I’m not the biggest fan of this card’s mechanics. Still a fun card conceptually.

@gus-goose — Herald of the Hunt

Another Snapdax stan? Did Snapdax become the ultimate Ikoria stan when I wasn’t looking? Anyway. I think that the combination of cards is a flavorful way to express devotion to Snapdax and I like how you included the mutate clause. I’m not a fan of how the ability works mechanically. Building around this card is pretty moot, because the setup feel like too much when you could just get Snapdax itself. Were there enough of those in Ikoria? There were a lot of creatures there... I don’t know, this card just feels like too much work.

@haru-n-harkel — Moonrise Dragster

I like the concept of searching for a flavorful aura like Caught in the Brights. It’s a fun and interesting way of tutoring for control cards. There’s a lot about this card that I’m not sure I understand. Why such a high crew cost? The mana cost to P/T ratio feels all out of whack. I’m also not sure why there’s the “doesn’t untap” clause. Is it flavorful? Is it a mechanical addition? I just don’t “get” a lot of this card’s decisions. Power-level wise, getting the aura from your graveyard is too much. It’s not a weak enchantment.

@i-am-the-one-who-wololoes — Devotee’s Squire

It’s a cute idea, I think. A little bit underwhelming to search for a card to search for a card. I’m not sure why this card mechanically exists. Flavorfully, this also takes place on Theros, Greek mythology, which as far as I know doesn’t have knights or squires.

@ignorantturtlegaming — Whirling Waves

This card is...powerful. I think the first ability is crazy, but fine. Second ability is insanely overpowered in limited. Third ability is holy cow powerful, assuming you mean “X on each” and not “X distributed.” Conceptually, I like this card a lot and I think that it’s a cool summon. In practical terms, the power level needs significant tweaking.

@karkatvantasticvantas — The Second Scourge

Interesting! “Tapped and crewing” is a fantastic little tweak with a flavorful idea behind it that I fully support. Seven mana for that cost, though, is... It feels like a little much, but it probably isn’t? I would have made this card colorless, honestly. I don’t think the Grixis colors are really useful here. “Menace” should be lowercase. This is a unique card, and I think I like it. Probably should be a rare.

@koth-of-the-hammerpants — Krajling Incubator

“Egg Ooze.” Love it. Great flavor text and a pretty fun card that’s very Simic. Two small notes: “Remove” should be capitalized, and the card needs a shuffle clause. Aside from that, I think that this card is a pretty fun uncommon. I wish there was a way that it could put counters on creatures.

@misterstingyjack — End Times Proselytizer

Thirteen colorless nonland permanents is a LOT. Even if you get something crazy off that first trigger, getting up there is a lot. Thirteen creatures would be enough, honestly. If you would have an easier time casting Emrakul by herself than using this card, then things might be a little too crazy. Also, why doesn’t the first ability just say “for each non-Eldrazi creature that died this turn”? I think this is a cool card, but it’s just not as good as the creature you’re searching for. I do love how you cast it from outside the game.

@ozthearistocrat — Oketra’s Blade

It’s a concept that I appreciate for sure. Getting a creature at different points in the story feels like a Time Spiral-esque idea. Honestly, though, I’m not a fan of the mechanics here. There are two different sets for a reason, and the spirit of the contest is a little different than that. Still, not a bad idea. FYI, I would really look into getting your MSE set up with fonts, because this card is REALLY hard to read.

@real-aspen-hours — Oracle of Oracle of Mul Daya

10/10. In all seriousness, keep this in a file for something that can let you play land and Shaman cards from the top of your library or something. Not a bad concept. I am laughing at the name, though.

@reaperfromtheabyss — Terrible Flamespeaker

Once more, the name of the card doesn’t need to be in quotes. As for the card’s mechanics, this one is interesting. I like how it encourages mono-red shenanigans. It’s a powerful on-curve card by itself which is pretty cool. I like how it tells the story of a world more than it does of a legendary creature, even if it is a rare searching for a rare, which feels... IDK, a little off with the nature of this contest. There’s nothing objectively wrong with this card besides the quotes, though, so call it a success.

@shakeszx — Beast Blessed Sword

Was there something about the Eldraine story that I missed? When was there a sword involved? Why isn’t there a hyphen to make it “Beast-Blessed” - unless it’s a different meaning? I’m a little confused. Regardless, the card itself I like. It’s recursion for Kenrith, which is a pain in the ass, but it’s a fun card regardless, I think. Having played against Kenrith, I’m not the biggest fan, but I know he’s fun to play, so I can’t complain.

@shandylamb — Scrap // Salvage

Okay. Straight-up, this card is doing too much. If this was on an actual Aftermath card, it would be packed to the gills and be practically unreadable. Scrap is probably the best side, even though it should say “put it onto the battlefield” and just “sacrifice an artifact” since you can only sacrifice permanents you control anyway. Salvage is just... I don’t know, I don’t get it. It requires both a legendary permanent and a target for it, and it doesn’t feel like a legendary event. The thing about “legendary” instants and sorceries was that they had a creature or planeswalker attached to them that made them feel epic. This card just doesn’t have that. I feel like you put too many ideas into too small a space.

@sigiledpaladin — Alarm of the Tenth

Why does this card search your graveyard too? That’s one hair in an otherwise fine cupcake of a card. It’s just a bit of a shame that it doesn’t “do” anything when it first comes out. Also, the second sentence should be “This ability costs (4) less to activate if [etc].” It’s a fine tutor, just a little underwhelming.

@snugz — Sliver Hivecaller

Would you believe that I actually love this card? Would you also believe that, in my opinion, this card would have been a winner......... if it wasn’t a Sliver? With the exception of the old legendary Slivers, all Slivers should inform other Slivers. And, well, this card doesn’t feel like a sliver. I love it, I really do. But it’s just not Sliver-y. I know that’s useless and boring commentary, but man, trust me, this card is great. Just make it, like, a Human Shaman or something? Ooh, or a mutant.

@starch255 — Oracle of Ancestry

This card would break eternal formats. Tutoring for Ancestral Recall and Brainstorm is... Wow. I don’t know, I might just be paranoid, but “tutor for some of the most powerful draw and thinning in Magic’s history” is something to be paranoid about, right? I’m not going crazy? Considering the wide range of formats and places that these cards come from, it’s not out of the question to assume that that was the intention of the card. Not sure how I feel about that.

@yesimnotrealanymore — Rise of Emrakul

The good: It’s certainly flavorful. The criticism:

3BBBB is way too costly, and color-heavy.

You don’t necessarily need “a” in that first ability. Just “Create Cryptolith”

Second ability should be two sentences. “Its,” not “it’s”

“Destroy up to four target creatures. For each creature destroyed this way, its controller creates a colorless 3/2 Eldrazi creature token.”

The Roman numeral for four is “IV.”

In order for that last ability to work, Emrakul would need three time counters on it and then gain vanishing. Additionally, we need to suspend our disbelief that both sagas and vanishing exist in the same set as Eldritch Moon.

Thank you all for your entries! A new legendary contest starts tomorrow.
