//more things!!;;//

Rhysand rose an eyebrow at the other male. Well this was an unexpected boon.

"Give Night back to Seraphine and we'll help you."

Alaric gritted his teeth and looked to Alusina who gave a tight nod. Sebastian's assassination attempt (success?) had rocked the wilder realm. But Khaede had refused to act, citing it as not her war to wage.

If Alusina didn't gain control soon he was sure his mother would turn her rage onto Wendlyn.

------

Khaede sighed and held the crown to Alusina, pride almost shining through her eyes.

"I'm shocked but impressed at your style Alusina. I didn't think you'd do it."

Alusina didn't respond, taking the crown, and cutting her hand to drop over the holy altar between them.

The runes along the chamber flared silver anointing her as the newest Tsarina. Alaric looked to his hands, feeling the marks and power flare on his skin even it was covered with armor.

Alusina looked from the walls to her mother. She raised her chin and gestured to the exit.

"I learned from the best, you will be taken to Day where you will remain."

Ivan escorted her and Solaris out. Alusina stepped toward Alina, gripping her hands speaking to her softly.

It had been 15 years since Burton has died and Grimselda had abandoned her boys in Khaede's court. Alaric was proud to see how Ivan had blossomed in that time. He was a good match for Alina.

------

Nesta stared down at the valley in numb shock, Doranelle was up in flames. The rivers that were fed from mountain snow steamed and boiled. The people's screams had stopped, Urstin dragged her from the edge.

Her people were being slaugthered, she had never cared for Natalia or her myriad of children. But this?

This was why her mother had been trying to avoid.

------

Seraphine looked from the window to Rhysand, she was young for the position she held as High Lady. Rhysand gripped her shoulders, forcing her to stop pacing.

No one would have guessed Sebastian and Natalia were capable of such things. But had Alaric and Alusina had known what they'd planned?

Had they demanded Khaede step down to force the Daglan to stay in line?

He pressed a kiss to Seraphine's forehead.

"It'll be fine love. Morrigan will take care of them."

Seraphine sighed and leaned into his touch. She had trained for this position, she was a force to be reckoned with.

Night was loyal to her and had always stood with her.

Giving Night to Alusina and Alaric as a mating gift had never set well with her people.

But they had it now and her people had gone out of their way to make her feel welcome.

Still, Doranelle falling and being their problem wasn't on his list of wants. Keir and Seraphine's father Nox were brothers, which made it on Seraphine what to do about Nesta and her sisters.

He supposed they could have gone to Mab. But even he knew Mab was estranged from Mora and Maeve.

Seraphine had agreed to take the girls in, she had been optimistic about it too.

Seraphine frowned, twisting her hands in his shirt.

"What if they play politics Rhysand? That's exhausting, I don't want to be wearing masks in my own home."

He frowned, cupping her face.

"Then you don't, you don't need to be around them. They are Morrigan's problem, they'll stay in the House of Wind and be dealt with there. They are our guests but not our responsibility do you understand?"

Seraphine bit her lip and pulled away to walk to the window.

"I just want them to see I am good. Theia nearly destoryed this realm 300 years ago. I am not my grandmother, I am not mother who needs constant care or spirals into despair."

She rolled her shoulders back, her blue eyes flashing.

"I will not let anyone make me feel inferior in my own home. I know the rumors of those girls, they are spoiled and her whatever they want. They are Morrigan's responsibility but I will set the standard."

Rhysand stepped back to her, holding her chin to kiss hard.

"You amaze me Seraphine. Have I told you that today?"

She smiled, the soft smile she only ever showed him. Her eyes twinkling.

"You've told me you thought me a goddess this morning but not I amaze you. You're growing lax my dear."

He grinned, sliding curtains closed, pressing her back against the window. His lips slid down her neck.

"I didn't get to worship you either yet darling. Let me make it make up to you."

------

Remus stood at the steps below Seraphine and Rhysand, she speaking with Morrigan softly.

He looked to his brother who shrugged at him.

He couldn't even fault Rhysand's joy, he wished his brother all the best. He didn't know why he had to be here to receive the females. He had work to be doing, and watching Rhysand simply stare at Seraphine as if she had hung the stars and moon was giving him a headache.

Fates, he hoped he never looked like that.

Seraphine perked looking to the carriage that wound up the drive to them.

"They're here."

A male stepped out, Urstin. He helped his sisters out one by one. He looked exhausted, but they all looked fine.

Remus wondered if they had cried yet about their parents.

When his mother had been dying he had cried. It was only months after she had recovered that he'd even broken down.

Seraphine stepped down the steps toward them.

"Welcome to Night."

//For anyone!!!//

Nesta looked to her sisters, sharing a look that reminded them they could not show weakness here. No one deserved to know their pain, or how they yerned for what they had lost. It had taken the ride there for her to help Elain compose herself, who had not wanted to come and wanted to be anywhere else.

Then there was Feyre, who honestly had become so rebellious in the recent weeks. Talking back, not dressing as she should. If only she could keep them under control, she knew Urstin had enough on his plate, so she knew it had to be her responsiblity.

She turned and looked towards the female who approached, she stood tall with her chin held high before she curtsied - Elain following suit.

"Thank you for the kind welcome, I am Nesta. These are my siblings: Urstin," she interacted to her brother. "Elain and Feyre."

Elain smiled when she was introduced and bowed her head slightly.

Feyre on the other hand stood tall, looking over all those who were gathered. She looked as if she was trying to sus out who to trust, who to watch.

The Elementalists Fanfic

Andrea sighed as she stared at her homework. Her brain was having trouble processing the words and she couldn’t make heads or tails of the work.There were just too many things lingering on her mind as she set down her pencil and began to massage her wrist. The Pender Pals would kill her if she continued to overwork herself.

She plucked up her phone and moved to her bed. It was fall break and she was alone for the first time. At least, she figured she was alone. The only person that she knew would be around was her twin and she didn’t feel like bothering her with all her issues.

Penderghast has wonderfully soft beds and she melted into her comforters as she tried to drown out her sorrows with music. As she got lost in the tunes, she flexed her fingers and began to recount the various hand motions that Atlas taught her for some Moon Att spell to get a good night sleep.

In reality it was some sort of blend of various attunements but she couldn’t exactly remember at the moment. At the moment, she just stared. It if wasn’t shadows haunting her dreams, then she had strange visions.

She was warm. It was impossible for her not to feel warm but this was a familiar and almost friendly like warmth as she laid out in the grass. If she was lucky, Neither Esme or Nome would find her yet and she’d have time to relax.

The wind rushed loudly and she turned to see a familiar face next to her.

“Kane!” She tossed her arms around him. He smelled of the sea and everything sweet and good. He pulled her in close and for a long moment, everything was right for them.

“I’ve missed you.” He said, kissing the top of her head.

The Jester King was almost always busy with his followers and she was busy with her many duties as the Sun Source. As she almost got lost in her thoughts, he tilted her chin up and kissed her. “Starlight, be with me here now. Please? I want to make the most of this time together before one of them finds us,” His voice was soft and almost pleading as he brought her into another kiss.

The sun warmed and the wind blew hard, and she was brought out of the vision. Andy sat up in bed, rubbing at her face to try to scrub the thought from her mind. She knew that her mother was the woman that she saw in the visions.

The man though?

She didn’t know at all. There was something awfully familiar about him and she just couldn’t place it. She pulled herself up, making her way over to her desk. “I must have something here..I know I’ve seen something here..” She mumbled as she yanked open the lowest drawer.  As she yanked the drawer open, she fell on her ass.

A burst of air smacked her in the face but with a twist of her hand, the air was redirected quickly. After the air died down, something landed in her lap.

It was a picture. The same picture that her and Atlas had put together when they finally reunited. It was them as babies with their parents holding them. Her mother was cradling her against her chest and Atlas was being cradled by who she could assume was their dad.

Then it hit her.

That man from the vision..was their father.

[herarmoredheart]

So I started playing Mother of the Year and I can't think of any names for my MC. Until I came up with Theia (TE) and name her daughter Atlas. And this happened.

Atlas will be attending bERNHARDT Academy and their neighbor is named ALMA. 😂😂😂

[a-crack-in-the-universe]

I just finished rereading The Elementalists 2 and I really want to see more of Theia. She’s such an intriguing character—she’s a Source, she became grief-stricken after Todd’s death and tried to resurrect her murdered husband and Alma bound her to stop her from doing that. And she spent years by herself and felt lost and lonely.

If there is another book someday, I would love to hear more about what Theia was doing during the years her magick was sealed away. I’d also love to see what her relationship with the other Sources was like.

[toyhenoctus]

Okay so I’ve had the most terrible art block ever since I got back from India but I think I finally powered through it today? And of course, my art style has shifted a little again...

I was thinking about Atlas during the wish sharing scene in the TE holiday special and how there was an option to get her into a onesie and then I wanted to draw it. But then I remembered that they said that Theia also spent the holidays with MC and Atlas at MC’s foster parents’ place and I’d already built my MC, Evelyn this elaborate family background so I figured I’d draw them all

First are Eve and Atlas in their onesies; a narwal for Eve and a shark for Atlas

Second is Eve’s foster parents, Farah (56) and Ezekiel (47) Waterson. Idk why I wrote them this way but Ezekiel fell in love with a woman much older than him when he was still in his late teens, pined after her and then finally managed to woo Farah when he was 23. Farah is a kind but strict mother and Ezekiel is a laid-back, youthful father

Third is Eve’s brother and sister, Jessica (25) and Brandon (19). Jessica is Farah and Ezekiel’s biological daughter and Brandon was adopted two years after they took in Eve. Eve and Brandon were thick as thieves growing up and Jessica looked out for the two of them. Brandon is attuneless but the Watersons do their best to make sure he doesn’t feel left out now that Eve’s powers have come in. He has a lot of fun with Minstry marbles

Last are Theia Solaris and Todrick (Todd) Masters, Eve and Atlas’s biological father. Considering the way Theia looks, I wanted to draw what I envisioned their dad would look like, that old photo be damned. Theia, Farah, and Ezekiel are doing their best to work together because Theia recognizes that the Watersons are Eve’s family but she’s still unwilling to miss out on anything else

[luxmaeastra]

Adarkna tilted his head, the silent was heavy. His eyes narrowed as he took the party in.

"I have no interest in Theia and her machinations. She had left our realm alone, why should we concern ourselves with it?"

------

Galacea turned from the moon, a Priestess of Night. Her raven hair shone, her hands clenched at her sides, the stone on her head glowed blue.

"Andarka is a foul fiend, he will destroy everything he touches. I can forge something to kill Theia, but he must die first."

Natalia titled her face up, meeting the goddess eyes.

"Tell me why. I'm risking the life of my mate for this."

Galacea looked to the stars, her eye going distant.

"He stole my sister, she was a vibrant, beautiful thing. And now he kept her in palace bred and drugged."

Galacea looked to Natalia, silver tears falling down her face.

"Help me save my sister."

------

Runia stared at the destruction in horror, her rage turning on Galacea. She barred her teeth, the shards of rage flowing into the water. The seas of Summer boiled as she stalked closer.

"You had no right! You convincing bitch! You couldn't let me be happy could you?! How dare you!"

Solaris turned from his fighting sistersz gripping Natalia's wrist.

"Now. We do this now or we won't win."

Natalia looked to Theia, haggard and held down by so many different spells. She held the sword out to Pelias. This was her war, but Thiea was a footnote in her story. She would let Pelias triumph in his own story.

"Finish her Pelias."

------

Violet set her book down, staring at her father.

"What happened to the High Queen of the Season Runia?"

Vale brushed a hand through her hair.

"She dies of a broken heart my darling."

He would sanitize some parts of their story. How could he tell his girl that her mind had been shattered. Her memories of her mate ripped away. Nostrus had ascended to Summer's throne dissolving the Seasonal Courts in favor of the

Firmament Throne in the east.

Solaris was a fair king, he was a good brother. He and Galacea were only looking out for their sister. Another power hungry god like Ghezen taking whatever he wanted.

But it was in the past now, Runia was happy and safe under the new name Clotho. She was healing.

Right?

“That sounds unfair.” She answered. She understood that there would always be victims in war, that sometimes life wasn’t fair. She knew what happened back then was for the best of everyone, that they had to stop Theia, but still.

Violet looked back to her book, frowning slightly as she wondered what would happen if it happened again? What if it was someone her parents supported and were friends with?

“Dying of a broken heart sounds painful.”

10.30.22 🧿 Sunday Magick 🎃

Moon in Capricorn

36% waxing crescent

🔥💀🌿✨️🌙✨️🌿💀🔥

Bright Blessings!

The Moon stays in the resilient and mythical sign of Capricorn. Capricorn is an earth ruled sign. Capricorn energy is goal-oriented and demands structure and routine.

This goats energy can have you feeling somewhat detached from the present moment, while Scorpio energy will swoop in waves with over-over-reality checks.

Regardless, both signs have a wonderful and unique sense of humor to remind us not to take life too seriously. We might even cope with some dark humor.

We must flow or swim.

Humour me for a moment...

I might not be remembering this right, but I don't think Sources have to take a corporeal form, but they just tend to because it's easier for mortals to understand.

So what if Theia isn't trapped somewhere, but she's trapped everywhere?

She's the Sun Source, so what if she's in sunlight somehow, but can't separate herself?

Here, the Locator Spell seems to be working, but Theia's presence is felt as the magnetic pull fades. Could that mean that she's in the room?

MC's sun magick is responding to her just like Swan's blood magick responded when Alma was nearby. They hear her voice. Her presence is definitely right there.

AU!Beckett x Anna - Private High School Headcanons - pt.1

One-sided academic enemies to lovers; Nerdy guy x Popular girl

Here’s the thing - I had originally wanted to make this a fic but I mostly have general ideas rather than specific details so this will be a multipart headcanons list series!

Tags - @sunnyshiftyy

TELL ME YOU YOU WANT TO BE TAGGED! :)))

Just explaining some things about this AU! I recommend reading these before reading my headcanons!

- I know that the Philippines doesn’t have royalty and nobility but I think that in the magickal community in my universe there is. 

- Anna was born into magick, same as Atlas

- Anna and Atlas are fraternal twins, they’re both still girls

- Anna and Atlas were never adopted; both their parents are both Theia and Todd. 

- All of their last names is Solaris. 

- Todd (Anna and Atlas’ biological dad) is old money Filipino nobility; the most powerful and richest family from Asia

- Theia is still a source (though Anna and Atlas don’t know yet but Todd does) and she’s a world-renowned researcher who has revolutionized multiple magickal science fields (because of her being a source)

- I know that in the book, the mom is white but my mc is Filipino, therefore-Southeast Asian, therefore the mom is too. 

- It kinda makes sense tho, because the Philippines is super hot and sunny! 

That’s all you need to know for now! Happy reading! 

Beckett’s POV

- Beckett Harrington had entered the grand hallways of his high school on his first day of school for the third year in a row. 

- Since he was entering his third year of high school, he wondered if he could start viewing lectures from prospective universities. 

- He had placed his bag inside and posted his schedule in his locker. And that was when he had heard some rumbling and whispers near the other end of a hall. 

- He didn’t care to look. It was probably about one of the girls raving about the obnoxious and over-the-top fashion that their parents’ money bought them over a trip or one of the guys that had a noticeable cast because he crashed their father’s Roll Royce; he never paid attention to any of the drama. Why would he? He didn’t needed to get distracted from horny, egotistical and insanely rich teenagers. He planned to make it through high school and graduate the top of his class to secure a future befitting of the Harrington name. 

- The chatter starts getting over the top and he’s heading to class where the crowd is, so might as well look. 

- When he turns is head, he sees a girl. An admittedly very pretty girl. 

- She had medium-tan skin, flowing brown hair with a side part with golden clips, with some other golden jewelry around her neck and hands. And wearing the school uniform and a sleek, black leather bag tossed over her shoulder. 

- “...moved here permanently from the Philippines” “I know her family is fucking loaded...” “Think of all the balls and galas her family would host!” “You think she’s any good at Thief? Imagine the more press we’d get!” “That’s the Solaris girl right?” He heard throughout the halls. 

- Solaris. He had heard that name before. 

- That’s when he stopped in his tracks. Holy fucking shit. 

- That’s the daughter of Theia Solaris. One of his biggest idols in the world of science. 

- She was also the daughter of Todd Solaris. He knew who he was too, though didn’t think of him too much. One of the richest families in all of Asia. He also knew that the father was keen on privacy, obscure even. But that made the entire family all the more alluring. If they are powerful and as influential as he thought, it was a goddamn miracle that they had been able to be stay as low for as long as they had been. 

- He shakes his head and moves on. “You may idolize her mother and heard of her father but for all you know, you may have to watch out for her, don’t get distracted.” 

- He makes it through his first class, it was simply a welcoming/introduction to the course and then a diagnostics test to see where the class is. He knows for sure that he aced it. And he makes it to his next class. 

- Advanced Magickal History - it’s actually normally for 4th years but they give an opportunity to outstanding 3rd years taking a history course to skip a year if their 2nd year history teacher view them as ready. Needless to say, Beckett was one of those outstanding 3rd years. He prided himself on that and was actually super excited to start the class. 

- What he wasn’t excited for was to see the Solaris girl in same class as he was.

-  When the class had started, the two of them instantly stood out as the only 3rd years in the class but the attention had mostly been on Anna. 

- Anna. That was the Solaris girl’s name. Turns out she had studied in the Philippines, then South Korea, then New Zealand and most recently, before coming to America, Singapore. Which is home to some of the most historic landmarks in magickal history and had taken a liking to the subject, which is why she had been bumped up a level too. 

- She had told the class this when the teacher had called her up to the front of the room to introduce herself since she had recently immigrated. Her parents told the school’s teachers that she would adjust better if she introduced herself on the first day at the start of every class to better start conversations with the other students. 

- Beckett thought that she was just using that as an excuse to brag about herself but as she goes on, he realizes that she’s genuinely interesting. It makes him mad that he knows that it would irrational to dislike her because of his jealousy, but he does.  

- Turns out she has a younger fraternal twin named Atlas, who wouldn’t be attending school for a few weeks because she had been finding the move overwhelming. He found it ironic; Anna coped by putting herself out there immediately and her own sister coped by resting her social battery. 

- She locked eyes with him and smiled at the end of her introduction. He thinks he hallucinated it as he quickly turned away, cheeks burning. 

- He had lunch right after that class. What he usually did was eat in the cafeteria and then make his way over to the library for the remainder of the time. 

- He got his tray of food then sat down at his usual table all by himself. 

- He heard laughter from a few tables a away from his. There, it was a group of students, mostly junior but some seniors around Anna. 

- They talked and asked her questions. Through anyone from the outside could see that she was simply trying to eat. To some degree, he felt sorry for her but his jealousy was stronger. He knew that the only reason why they were surrounding her was because they had heard of the Solaris name all over the news, on the names of buildings and world-changing research. The only person that she seemed to actually not be overwhelmed when talking to was a girl sitting beside her - Shreya Mistry. 

- He didn’t know why. The both of the girls may come from ultra-rich and elite families but aside from that they didn’t seem in any way alike. Anna’s parents seemed to have put privacy, especially of their daughters ahead of anything else except when they absolutely had too. The Mistry’s, on the other hand, were unapologetically always putting themselves out there. That, in of itself he could respect them for, but Shreya seemed to particularly be a showoff. He didn’t think lowly of her, but he surely didn’t think highly of her either. 

- He hears a guy’s voice, one of the seniors from their history class ask Anna, “Hey, what university are you planning on applying to once you’re able to?” 

- He hears her respond. “I’m thinking of applying to multiple universities, even some of the attuneless one - mostly ivy leagues and elite colleges in the UK. But for attuned universities, my first choice for sure is Penderghast University!” 

- Fucking Hell. Of all the colleges that she would want to go to, she chooses his dream university. 

Anna’s POV

- She caught his eyes on her when she entered her Advanced Attuned History class and she herself had been sneaking glances too. 

- Even when she was introducing herself to the class, she couldn’t help but pay attention to his gun-metal eyes and she notes that when the sun shines and reflects into his hair, it shines a most brilliant golden-brown. 

- She even notices that he sits alone during lunch in the cafeteria. 

- Once she finally finishes eating after being bombarded with questions from the other students. 

- She doesn’t mind their questions too much tho, she did want for them to get to know her, after all. But she would appreciate finishing her food much faster. 

- At her locker, which is across from Shreya’s, she asks her about the boy from the history class. 

“So, anyone in particular that you could see yourself getting acquainted with?” Shreya asks.   

“So formal, Shreya! It’s only the first day and  everyone’s been so nice!” Anna laughs at her friend’s formalities. 

- The Solarises had asked Shreya’s parents if she could help Anna and Atlas adjust to the school life in America. 

- Not at Shreya’s expense though, she and Anna had actually been really good friends for a long time now. The only time Anna’s family would use the private jet for a one-night event was for the Mistry’s galas, same for the Mistrys and for the events set up by the Solarises. The two of them had became friends through their shared interest in fashion and kept in contact even in different areas of the world. 

- They would get invited to the same galas pretty often though, so it wasn’t that hard to stay friends. 

The Mistry had smiled at the sun-att through the reflection of the mirror in her locker and shrugs. 

“Still, there must be at least one person that seems to fit the standards of the mysterious Solarises.”

Anna rolls her eyes before anyone shutting her locker and turning around. She loves her parents so much but she hated how they obsess about keeping a low profile and hated even more when it’s brought up. But she knows that Shreya was joking and does want to ask about the guy in her class. 

“Fine, there’s a guy in my second period Advanced Magickal class who is also a third year. He’s pretty tall, has neat brown hair and...”

Shreya snorts as she cuts her off. “And has a resting bitch face of looking permanently constipated?” 

“Well, that’s a harsh way to describe him but, yeah. That’s pretty accurate.” 

“Ugh, that’s Beckett Harrington, resident complete-dick-for-no-reason type.” 

Anna’s about to say something before Shreya holds up a finger to stop her. 

“And before you think that I’m being unnecessarily rude, don’t. He thinks that being smart justifies having a terrible attitude even towards people he hasn’t gotten to know. It doesn’t help that he’s been top of the class for the past 2 years in a row. I know I can’t control you but at least try to keep watch for him, okay? Remember, I’m partially responsible if your social life takes a hit here.” Shreya playfully punches Anna’s shoulder.  

“Fine, I’ll try to restrain myself from befriending assholes.” Anna says sarcastically.

That’s when the both of them link arms and walk to their next class together. 

If only she knew how the rest of her year would turn out...

Part 2 coming soon!!
