​ignore the physics of how Elliot probably could not possibly lean half in, half out of one world— though he would absolutely test and see if it was possible— and just enjoy the ✨✨symbolism✨✨ of the concept

Just remembering that Elliot gave Luke one of his pens and Luke displays it all special in his room like it's a precious item 🥺

still thinking about how elliot & luke are both entirely convinced the whole world is in love with their boyfriend. and also are both entirely right. elliot is funny & attractive & interesting & flirtatious & smart & a hero. luke is ALSO funny & attractive & interesting & smart & a hero. like those are the two most desirable men in the border camp tbh like they both catch your eye immediately and take up every room they walk into. and the best part is both of them think they personally are unloveable and nobody would ever want to date them because they’re not as cool as the other. dorks

#this is incoherent i might redo it in the morning. im just having soooo many iol thoughts rn #iol #in other lands #elliot schafer #luke sunborn #sunbrat

[elliot-my-beloved]

the fact that luke should, logically, be crazy popular, as the sunborn champion, (second) best warrior cadet in the border camp (i’m rightfully counting him after serene), etc, but he isn’t, is so funny to me. he had everything going for him but on the first day of camp he grabbed the out of touch elf girl and the short, angry, obnoxious redhead with the weird clothes and said “they’re mine now,” and thus began his reputation as the intense gay kid. how luke sunborn became part of the weirdo table i will never know.

(likewise, how did elliot have so much game?? they really turned the popular kid/nerd trope on its head and i love them for that thank you srb)

Q&A

I just wanted to do some answers leftover from the chat while I'm in Q&A MODE! and to show my appreciation. <3

'I loved that Luke is still jealous like always! Luke and Elliot got to talk and get to understanding about How their relationship? And Rachel and other Sunborns miss elliot?'

--Luke and Elliot do reach a place of more understanding after Tears Waiting to be Diamonds, one of which is just the confirmation for Elliot that there is no one terrible unforgivable sin, reflective of his whole unlovable (to him) personality, that will be a dealbreaker to Luke: that Luke actually does know him, and knows what he's capable of.

The mortifying ordeal of being known, and knowing you're known, takes time.

Miss Applegold is, however, going to get some cold looks from the Sunborn Champion. He has Taken Against her.

Rachel and Louise, like Luke, are on team 'treason! Execute the - oh Elliot? That's different obviously. He has his reasons.' Michael Sunborn regards Elliot's treason more seriously, but he is still knitting Elliot's Christmas sweater and expects to see him on the holidays. Elliot is helped out here by the Sunborns, as a rule, not being a law-abiding people.

In Other Lands Map

I recently did a reread of In Other Lands by @sarahreesbrennan and got really inspired so I decided to attempt to draw up a map based on the book! I tried to take as much as I could from the book and include it in the map, but it doesn’t clarify a lot about how things are located in relation to each other so I had to make up my own interpretation. With that said, this is how I envision The Border Land and The Other Land in the book and I’m pretty happy with how it came out!

For a closer look at some places where events from the book happen, keep reading!

The Wall/Border and the Human World (Aka any random field in Devon, England.

The Border Camp where most of the book takes place and the surrounding areas, including the infamous lake, the nearby farming community and The Elvern Tavern.

The Sunborn Tower, home of Luke Sunborn and his family!

The Forest of the Suicides, where the harpies reside, and the nearby Troll caves.

The Aegle Woods, where dryads live and also where Elliot went (sneaked) on his first campaign.

The village and lake where Elliot first met mermaids(!!!).

The area from the new short story, including the two fortresses and the Dwarven Kingdom of the Diamond Clan!

Hello my lovelies. It's been...a while! I haven't been writing a lot, but I have been doing a lot of fandom-y things. Thanks so much to @cutestkilla, @wellbelesbian and @forabeatofadrum for tagging me today!!!

I haven't been writing much this week. My Holsom timeloop is in a time out awaiting a re-read and some edits, and Simon's Two Mums has been languishing while I sated the Holsom timeloop brainworms. I'm going to put some smutty timeloop words below the cut. Because, uh, I like them.

I have, however, signed up to podfic a number of fics as part of @caught-on-tape-fest, and I just set up my new mic so that I'm ready to record! I'm excited! I'm nervous! I've chosen 4 fics in a series to record so that I have a chance to work on getting better as I go.

I've also signed up to write two fics for @carryon-reverse-bang, so you'll be seeing more of that soon. Very excited!

Just out of WIP status is a short fic I wrote for @petedavidsonscock in the In Other Lands fandom called Visible at Sea, it's a slightly silly, slightly smutty Sunbrat fic. Anyone who has read IOL is probably familiar with the fact that Elliot's voice is amazingly specific and therefore very hard to write. I feel like I did a pretty good job. Anyway, if you haven't read In Other Lands, wtf are you doing with your life, please go read it. If you have read In Other Lands, go read my fic. :-P

HOLSOM TIMELOOP:

"Wanna… lay down?" "Bro, I want to blow you," he snorts. "Do I want to lay down." "We have options, Rans, the night is young." "It's almost midnight."  "So, okay. We have two hours." "Can we save the options for later, Holtzy? I need your dick down my throat, like, now." Adam moans and reaches for his fly. "Yeah, okay, can't argue with that." "Thank you," Justin says, pulls his shirt over his head, and tosses it on the ground in front of Adam's feet. He pulls Adam's pants down as he kneels.

I love in other lands bc like, every example of Elliot and Luke interacting is like a study in how to make the miscommunication trope believable and genuinely enjoyable in a story.

Like Elliot tells Luke gleefully that Dale Wavechaser fell out of a tree when he saw Luke shirtless in an effort to cheer Luke up. Only for Luke to get offended at the idea that Elliot would think people falling out of trees and getting hurt would make him happy, and it is the perfect example of the miscommunication trope working to actually improve a book.

Elliot and Luke’s miscommunications are always “thing said with good intentions (or at least earnest emotion)” —> “hurt response based on both neurodivergence and the fundamental belief that the other person is always assuming the worst of them”

Meanwhile the reader is aware the whole time of how much they love, respect, and want the best for each other

OK it just occured to me, does Elliot ever cry in front of Luke in the novel or short stories? I don't think Elliot cries in front of his friends at any point in IOL.

When is the first time Luke ever sees Elliot cry?

How would he even react?

ive found that all of my favourite pairings seem to follow the orestes/pylades dynamic (believes that they’re hard to love/loves them anyway) because there is something so special to me about when ppl make an active effort to show their love and to show the other that they aren’t a burden and so ive put together a little chart of who i think is who pls feel free to add ships i’ll put them on the chart and share the doc with you
