Stonegrot Week (Year 3!)

ATTENTION THRALINGS...

In honor of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance’s third anniversary of its release on Netflix, we’re hosting STONEGROT WEEK (YEAR 3!)

Starting Monday, September 20th — Sunday, September 26th 2021, Stonegrot Week (Year 3!) is designed to be a celebration and fun experience for Stonegrot (Rian and Deet from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) fans to submit fanfiction, artwork, headcanons, and anything related to Stonegrot and the week’s themes!

Let’s address this. Unfortunately, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance was cancelled before we were able to see a second season. You never know though... The Dark Crystal film was released in 1982 and 37 years later, a prequel to the film in the form of a tv series— The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance was released on Netflix. One day we might be able to see new content on screen again or we may have to continue creating our own because it’s up to us, collectively as a fandom, to keep the love and support for The Dark Crystal alive. Always. Let’s be grateful for the one phenomenal season. Let’s celebrate its characters, specifically this beautiful relationship between the Gelflings Rian and Deet.

We want to make sure that this blog is safe for everyone to enjoy, therefore Stonegrot Week will NOT accept the following submissions:

- Anything above an M rating

- Gore

- Pedophilia

- Nonconsensual content

- Generally any work that would be associated with the four categories listed above.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to to participate in Stonegrot Week, and it isn’t mandatory to participate for the entire week, if you’d just like to submit a piece of work for one of the days you are absolutely welcome to do so!

Please be sure that any work submitted is new content, we would kindly like to refrain from including anything that was created any time prior to Stonegrot Week. Just like The Heretic, we love a good surprise.

Just be sure to hashtag #Stonegrot and either #Stonegrot Week / #StonegrotWeek and #Day (x) so we can see it and reblog. You can also tag this page @stonegrotweek.

Here are this year’s theme for the week:

September 20th — Day One: Kiss The Girl. Rian initiates a kiss with Deet. It could be their first kiss or their millionth, it’s up to you.

September 21st— Day Two: Afternoon Delight. Rian and Deet share a perfect afternoon together.

September 22nd— Day Three: The Night Before. Something special takes place one night between Rian and Deet. It could be a conversation or maybe an intimate moment. The plot is up to you.

September 23rd— Day Four: The Morning After. A follow up to Day Three’s events. What happens between Rian and Deet after The Night Before? *If you didn’t participate in Day Three, that’s okay, create something you believe would take place between Rian and Deet spending a morning together. The plot is up to you.

September 24th— Day Five: Yesterday’s Feeling. This could be a follow up to Day Four’s events, or a headcanon during an Age of Resistance episode. What were Rian and Deet feeling for one another? The plot is up to you.

September 25th— Day Six: Tomorrow’s Promise. Rian and Deet make a promise to each other. Maybe about their future together? maybe about loving and protecting each other against the Skeksis? What will it be?

September 26th— Day Seven: The Future. Create a headcanon for what you think Rian and Deet’s future looks like.

Also, just because this week centers around Rian and Deet that doesn’t mean their fellow Gelfling friends, Skeksis villains, and any others who live in Thra can’t also get involved. We want to see it all!

Remember, don’t start tagging or submitting anything until the official week has started.

Bullying or harassment of any kind will NOT be tolerated. This account was created to share the love and passion we have for this series and these characters. Everyone has their own unique style, whether it’s in writing or art form, and we are excited to highlight that.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to send a message.

Now that we’ve covered everything, get yourselves and your beautiful creations ready for Stonegrot Week (Year 3!) Starting Monday, September 20th— Sunday, September 26th!

The Future-Stonegrot week- Day Seven

"Prophecy. Visions. I know the Sifan are known for their soothsaying, but haven't you got any practical advice?" Rian huffed as he eyed the mug of ale Onica had sat in front of him. He was exhausted from burning his candle at both ends with little in the way of how this prophecy came to be. Onica glanced at Brea who nodded her head in approval.

"Well I might be able to give you some courtship advice. After all, you are the one that fathers the chosen one." Onica chirped as Brea covered her mouth with her hand to keep from laughing. Rian had chosen the wrong time to drink his beverage. He sputtered and gasped for air before rasping out a reply.

"What?! Who?! I mean, what do you mean?"

Onica patted his hand with grin on her face.

"You and that sweet Grottan girl."

Stonegrot Week Day 4

@stonegrotweek

Title: Rag-Tag Romance

Prompt: Brea plays matchmaker for Deet and Rian. 

Day 1. Day 3. Day 4. 

[-]

Brea looked around at her rag-tag crew. If she were being honest with herself, she had to admit they weren’t her ideal team for this job. Her plan required subtlety, finesse. Though her new friends were brave, loyal, and true, she feared they may be in over their head.  

“Alright,” Brea addressed her team as they congregated behind a bush, “they should be back with the firewood soon. Let’s go over the plan one more time. Hup, when they get back, what do you do?”

“Hup make fire for aminya Deet,” he answered.

Brea nodded. So far, so good. That made at least one other person who knew their part. “Right, and Naia?”

“I offer to take the first watch.”

“Good, good…” she went on. “And if they refuse to let you do their chores?”

“Insist!” they said in unison. Or at least Brea thought they did. To her ears, Naia’s answer sounded more like “force him” but she decided to let it go. It was close enough.

“Right,” Brea said, “and Kylan?”

“I start playing my firca,” he answered.

“Casually,” she stressed. “Play it casually. Make them think you’re just playing it to pass the time.”

He nodded and she smiled. Of all her friends, she had the most faith in Kylan to pull this off. He was a songteller, after all, and there were love songs aplenty. If nothing else, the music shouldn’t be a complete disaster.

Speaking of music… “And Gurjin, what do you do?”

“I sing,” he said.

As rough and tough as Gurjin looked, he did have a lovely singing voice he liked to pull out from time to time. In fact, hearing him hum along with a song Kylan was playing is what inspired her to create this night.

“And what are you going to sign?” she asked.

“Well, I was thinking a song called the Weary Traveler.”

“And what is that about?” Brea asked, wringing her hands. She’d never heard of that one and the look Naia just shot him made her nervous.

“It’s about this traveler who gets lost in the Swamp of Sog,” he explained through a cheeky grin. “Luckily he’s found by these two sisters with really great…”

Naia popped him on the arm.

“…Hospitality,” he finished, smirking at his sister.

Brea ran a hand down her face. “Ugh, Gurjin…”

“I’m just joking,” he laughed. “I know exactly the kind of song you want. I’ll sing the Willow’s Blossoms. It’s a classic love ballad written by the great Drenchen poet, Noa. She wrote it for her lover, comparing her beauty to the blossoms of spring.”

Brea breathed a sigh of relief. “That sounds good. Just remember to sing it…”

“Casually, I know,” he assured her. “Like how I’m always casually singing love ballads at some point in the night.”

She ignored the sarcasm as hope rose in her chest. Perhaps they will pull this off after all. Deet and Rian had been so kind to her, even though they’d only known each other for a short time. She’d seen the looked those two gave each other, and she decided to give back some kindness of her own. Crafting this romantic evening for them was the least she could do.

She peaked through the branches of the bush at the campsite. They weren’t back yet. There was still a little more time to make sure everything was in place. She looked up at the sky as she thought of what else needed improving. “Hmm… Do you think the stars are bright enough tonight?”

“You want us to do something about the stars?” Naia deadpanned.

“It’s just, in the love ballads I studied, stars are referenced in about 17% of them. When you think about all other possible romantic imagery that could be used, that’s a lot.”

Gurjin raised his hand. “I have a question.”

“Yes?”

“When did you have time to study love ballads?”

“Oh, I did that a few trine ago.”

“Why?”

Brea shrugged. “I just had a free evening.”

“So, a few trine ago, you used a free evening to study love ballads for no particular reason, took note of the percentage of times stars are referenced, and were just able to pull that number out of your head?”

“Yes.”

He shrugged as well. “I have no further questions.”

“Keep in mind, I was working with a relatively small sample size, so my results can’t be generalized,” she clarified.

“What? Small sample size?” Gurjin feigned a scandalized expression. “You ought to be ashamed of yourself.”

“Hold on, I’ve actually got a question,” Kylan said. “I don’t know how Gurjin’s song goes.”

“That’s not a question,” Gurjin quipped. “Just follow along with me. You’ll be fine.”

“But I’m supposed to start,” Kylan went on. “An in any case, I’m the storyteller. Why don’t you follow along with me?”

“And what if I don’t know the song you’re playing?” Gurjin shot back.

“Why don’t you just put your lyrics to my music?” Kylan argued.

Gurjin looked aghast. “The great poet Noa composed that ballad herself. Do you really think you can do better than her?”

“I didn’t say that. I just-”

“Are you two really bickering over love songs?” Naia cut in. “They’ll be here any minute.”

Gurjin and Kylan continued their musical argument while Naia called them both idiots and Hup tried to get them to stop fighting and make the night nice for Deet. Brea groaned and rubbed her temples. All she wanted wat to set up a nice, romantic surprise for her friends. Evidently, that wasn’t going to happen. Maybe their little gang just wasn’t suited for this kind of work.

The sound of a twig snap silenced them all. Gurjin and Naia put their hands on the hilts of their swords while Hup brandished his spoon. After a tense few seconds of silence, they heard a quiet giggle from Deet, followed by a soft laugh from Rian.

The group let out a collective breath and peaked out through the leaves. There they found Deet and Rian alone together at the campsite. The two of them rested against the same tree trunk and talked quietly. In the light of the moons, their friends could see how their eyes sparked when they looked at each other. They looked like the only two gelfling in the world, enjoying a little moment of paradise.

“Hey Brea?” Gurijn whispered.

“Yes?”

“I don’t think they need out help.”

Deet and Rian let out another little burst of laughter.

“I think you’re right,” Brea agreed.

“Maybe we should just leave them alone,” Kylan suggested.

“They’re going to wonder where we all got to,” Naia pointed out.

“Yes, but for now,” Brea breathed, careful not to disturb the peace, “let’s leave them be.”

So, they all slipped back into the brush, leaving Deet and Rian to enjoy each other’s company.

In My Place

September 24th— Stonegrot Week Day 2: Song that reminds you of Rian and Deet. @stonegrotweek

The song is “In My Place” by Coldplay. Written in Rian’s POV, about his growing feelings for Deet during Episode 6 “By Gelfling Hand”. I hope you enjoy!

Rian felt lost, until Deet found him. She was the one constant thing that kept showing up in his life. Although he had lost much, he gained something in return. The chance to love again.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/20760857

Lyrics:

‘In my place, in my place

Were lines that I couldn't change

I was lost, oh yeah

I was lost, I was lost

Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed

I was lost, oh yeah

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

Yeah, how long must you pay for it?

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

Oh for it

I was scared, I was scared

Tired and under prepared

But I wait for it

If you go, if you go

Leave me down here on my own

Then I'll wait for you (yeah)

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

Yeah, how long must you pay for it?

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

Oh for it

Sing it, please, please, please

Come back and sing to me, to me, me

Come on and sing it out, now, now

Come on and sing it out, to me, me

Come back and sing it

In my place, in my place

Were lines that I couldn't change

And I was lost, oh yeah, oh yeah’

Kiss her...

Stonegrot week: Day One.

Did it really matter if he had kissed her a thousand times? The humming of her soft lips had caught his attention that morning. His body yearning for a long walk with her chittering about whatever had her fancy at the moment.

Rian knew that their time was short but that didn't change his mind. Gurjin gave him a nudge on his right side; a clear sign he'd been staring to long.

"Oui, just kiss her already."

The words were no doubt the best advice he had gotten in a long while. Advice he was taking at that exact moment.

Deet let out a nervous giggle as Rian moved in front of her. His eye glimmering with that soft mischievousness that she knew well. Her heart squeezed in excitement has she greeted him. Her answer a soft hello against her lips.

She knew her hands were small, but she also knew they were strong, much like the heart that belonged to the boy sitting next to the fire. His gaze was wistful as their friends slept.

Her hand fell on his shoulder, and she found herself swimming in blue waves. They almost drowned her.

"Rian…"

Rian felt something tug at his heart. Deet's onyx eyes focused on him intently and spoke something to him without words. His head dipped forward as tears stung his eyes. The grief of his own loss weighed heavily as the ghosts of the funeral song hung over them.

He felt Deet squeeze his shoulder, and he let the soft gesture warm him. He picked his head up once more and managed to smile softly.

"I'm alright."

The words came out before he could stop them, a function of being a soldier. Deet's mouth tensed at this, and she shook her head at him.

"Rian, you don't always have to be brave."

The words were small too, she knew, but she knew they were strong also. Deet watched as Rian seemed to let them sit in the air between them before he stood slowly. His mouth opened to saying something before he closed it without a word.

He began to walk past her with a good night on his lip, but her hand caught his own. Their eyes meeting as a fever crept into their cheeks. Rian began to stumble over his words, but Deet smiled.

Her hands were very small in his larger ones.

"Thank you."

Rian's words were simple, but they lingered with their hands locked for a moment. The silence around them soothing the chaos in both their chests.

Their only thought; tomorrow would be different indeed.
