You're gorgeous, Gault!

What made you change your mind about me, sir?

I merely wish to be a Dream and not a Nightmare. To Inspire, rather than to frighten.

Gorgeous and elegant!

Sometimes we fall, sometimes we fly.

Just get me off the damn mountain

5.6k words, teen, hitchhiking, snowstorm, age difference, there was only one bed

“So, what were you thinking, hitchhiking in the mountains in the winter?” The moody goth child he’d picked up stared out the car window. Hob wasn’t sure he was going to answer. “You realize you could have died? The snow is just starting, but it won’t be long before it’s too thick for anyone to even see you at the side of the road. Did you even have a back-up plan?” The kid grunted, moodily, his knees up near his chest. So, no, then. Hob huffed a sigh of exasperation. Every time something like this happened, he wondered if kids were getting more oblivious, or if they’d always been this heedless. Come to think of it, he may have been considered an adult at this kid’s age, but he’d still been pretty damn ignorant. What was he, 20? Maybe 21? So fucking young.

Okay I’ve seen a bit of meta about why the Metatron wanted Aziraphale in heaven, but there are two points I haven’t seen mentioned yet.

Aziraphale and Crowley working together are extremely powerful. The smallest miracle they could perform together was 25 Lazarii—a startling beacon. It’s imperative to break them up or at least separate them.

And secondly. Aziraphale was willing to use his ultimate weapon—the halo.

Remember how Gabriel balked at destroying everything? Put Aziraphale in charge, and you just might have someone who’s not afraid to pull the trigger. Especially if you can give him a good reason to, like thwarted love.

Death has a Life

Thought I’d do a fic masterlist for my Death of the Endless fics!

Anya meets Death—this particular chapter from my Spy x Family x Sandman crossover (Anya is a very cute little telepath with a spy and an assassin for parents.)

Velma’s Close Call—from my Scooby Doo x Sandman crossover series. It’s a fishbowl rescue, so to speak, where Death was the one summoned.

Eldritch Horrors and the Chaos Gremlin — Lucienne tries her hand at matchmaking. It works. My attempt at ConstantDeath.

Death is not Easy to Cheat—my most angsty fic, in which Lyta is briefly a zombie.

Endless Family Trick-or-Treating—she gets to be so cute!

Death is not for Everyone—Hob and Johanna “facilitate” Rose meeting her Aunty Death (ch 3 of Walking with the Endless, in which Rose and Jed meet their new extended family)

Minus One—Jed meets Aunty Death during math class (ch 5 of Walking with the Endless)

WIP: deathzee for @milfzatannaz (check out her art), I’m just waiting on some Zatanna comics to come in at the library so I can get her at least a bit right!

Send me Death of the Endless prompts at my side blog @lucienne-my-beloved this week!

Walking with the Endless

Rose and Jed get to meet the rest of their Endless family members! In two fics (about 9k words total, teen) and with Rose and Jed art by @ilya-halfelven.

(It's not a scene from the fic but Ilya did it for me while I was editing and I love it so I'm sharing it. Maybe I'll write a fic for it later.)

A Reunion in the Dreaming

1274 words, Gen, fluff and cheesecake, no dragons. Thanks to @aetheltrythh and @best-wishes for beta reading! Based on this post by @windsweptinred and a prompt by @violetoftheendless; thank you! @themirokai also wrote a version of this reunion, how cool! More cake! Unity's situation is based on Desires well-tended are a hearth by @dancinbutterfly. Read it on AO3.

“Rose! Jed!” 

Unity’s eager greeting floated from where she stood waving beside the picnic she had spread out under a stately maple tree in Fiddler’s Green. Rose blinked as her mind adjusted from regular dreaming to the lucid dreaming state that let her visit with her great-grandmother in the Dreaming. Looking around, she saw Jed beside her also blinking, and watched his face transform into a huge smile as he saw Unity.

“Nana Unity!” he cried, running over to give her a big hug. The joy in her eyes as she snuggled him almost brought tears to Rose’s eyes as she walked over more sedately, joining them in a group hug when Jed and Unity refused to relinquish each other. Laughing, they finally separated and turned to the picnic. 

“Ooh, cherry cheesecake!” Jed exclaimed. Rose had shared with Unity that Jello cheesecake from a box had been Jed’s favourite when he was little, and Unity had asked Lucienne for help replicating it in the Dreaming. It seemed to have turned out well, and Jed’s reaction was especially gratifying. Enthusiastically, they all settled down to catch up over an open-air meal. 

“My manuscript is almost ready to go to the editor,” Rose shared excitedly. At least this was one deadline she wasn’t late for! She reached for a fresh strawberry in celebration.

“And how is your application for grad school going, dear?” Unity asked, pouring some lemonade for each of them.

“I’ve applied at three schools–they all have very good reputations for their Creative Writing Master’s.”

“Excellent!”

“Yeah, my buddy Joe wrote this great story about a monster robot praying mantis!” Jed interjected. “He was telling it during soccer practice. I got a goal that day, it was super awesome!”

“Wonderful!” Unity beamed at Jed’s accomplishment, and Rose glowed with how happy and settled he was becoming. As he dug into the cucumber sandwiches and sipped his lemonade, Rose turned to Unity.

“How about you, Unity? How have you been?”

“Oh, my dear! It’s so lovely to visit with Desire again! They made me happy for over a hundred years while I was asleep, and Dream has been so kind as to allow them to continue seeing me now that I am back!”

“I’m so glad for you!” Rose said. “But I thought Dream and Desire didn’t get along very well?”

“Well, no, you know, they didn’t. But I asked for them specially, and Dream was able to allow it, as long as Desire stays with me. Dream’s been visiting too, you know, at my request.”

“Really?”

“Oh yes! I thought he could use a grandmother, you know. He needs taking care of!”

“Hey, look! What’s that?” Jed pointed as a big green bug leapt out of the grass. “Oh, cool, a grasshopper!” He ran over to see if he could catch it, and crowed with joy as he startled a handful more from the grass. Rose leaned back on the blanket, full of joy at watching him regain the simple childhood pleasures he had almost missed out on.

“For example,” Unity continued, watching Jed chase the grasshoppers, “just the other day, Dream was looking kind of down, when he came for tea, and when I asked him about it, he confessed. He was feeling guilty that it bothered him that Hob was leaving his dirty socks on the floor, and he just didn’t know how (or even whether) to talk to him about it. You see? A grandmother is just what he needs.” Rose and Unity chuckled as they sipped their lemonade, but Rose was actually quite glad that Dream was finally willing to ask for and receive wise advice from time to time. 

Suddenly, Jed came running back to them.

“Look, look, what could that be?” He pointed at a couple of dark shadows high in the sky. “Dragons, do you think? Will I get to see the roc today? What if it’s a pterodactyl?” 

Unity squinted at the sky and nodded in excitement rather than agreement. “No, I think it’s something much better than any of that!”

“What?!” Rose laughed, “Better than dragons?”

“Yes, look!” Unity said as the shapes grew closer and larger. “It’s my friends, Lucienne and Gault!”

“Oh, yes, Lucienne is even better than dragons! I remember hearing Gault’s name before,” Rose mused. ”Wait, was she the one…?”

Rose’s words dwindled off as she watched Jed run toward the two women, raven and fairy wings now clear, carrying them closer to the picnic under the tree. Jed doubled back as they passed low over him, and he ran up laughing as they came in gracefully for a landing several feet from Rose and Unity. 

“Rose! Unity!” Lucienne exclaimed. She came forward to hug each of them in turn, followed by Gault who also embraced Unity. 

“I think we’ve met,” Rose said to Gault as they came face to face.

“Yes,” Gault confirmed, turning to include Jed as well. “We have met, though not under the best circumstances.”

“Wait, I remember you!” Jed tilted his head, scrutinizing the dark, glowing fairy before him. “You’re what mom turned into right before the King of Nightmares took her away.”

“Yes.” Gault smiled gently at him. “I never was your mother, I only looked like her for a time. But I did enjoy the time I spent with you, and I’m so proud of how courageous and strong you were in all of your dream adventures. I see you’ve met your real life adventures just as bravely since we were parted.” 

A thoughtful look crossed Jed’s face and he hesitated–looking around at the four beautiful women gazing at him fondly and surrounding him with love–and found his courage once more. “I have a request. Can you be Mom again? Just for a minute, so I can say goodbye to her?”

“Oh, Jed,” Rose said. “You know it won’t be Mom? Are you sure it will help, and not just make it harder for you?”

Unity nodded. “It’s hard to say goodbye to people. Sometimes saying it out loud with someone else there helps. But living in a fantasy will not help you heal.” 

“I know. But she helped me a lot, when I was at that place, and I want to say thank you.” 

As the women all nodded in understanding, Gault transformed into the shape of Miranda. Jed’s smile broke open like the sun coming through clouds, and he threw himself into her arms. They hugged for a long moment, as tears ran down everyone’s cheeks. 

“Thank you. Thank you so much for helping me there,” he said, his face buried in her chest. “Thank you for not leaving me alone.”

“You are welcome. I’m so proud of you for being so brave, and I’m so happy about how well you are doing now.”

Jed stepped back, knuckles swiping away the tears prickling in his eyes. “Goodbye, Mom.” He nodded, and Gault transformed into herself once more. Suddenly he threw himself into her arms once more. Startled, she embraced him back. “I hope we can be friends,” he said this time.

“Of course!” Gault wiped a tear from her cheek as her face also broke into a glorious smile. “I’d love to be your friend, Jed!”

“Oh, excellent!” Unity exclaimed. “Now that we’re all friends, everyone sit down and help me eat this cheesecake!” They laughed, brushing the tears from their faces, and sat around the blanket.

“So, how have you two been doing?” Rose asked as Unity handed out cake.

“You wouldn’t believe,” Lucienne answered with a smile. “The other day, Merv got himself into such a scrape…”

For the rest of that story, read Fireflies and a Missing Person. @carnelianmeluha I described the food (a little bit) just for you, but it's very simple: cherry cheesecake, cucumber sandwiches, strawberries and lemonade. The cheesecake box link is in the endnotes! @thesandwomen this is really early for your October event and it's not a femslash. But. I was thinking of you.

for the wip word ask game: rain, lips, incredible, bird

:))

Thank you for asking!

So I realized as soon as you asked, that the problem is I usually only have a sentence for an idea before I type it all up and post it in a day or two. So I had to make a wip before I could answer your ask! Anyway, here you go, I put birds in for you. Rose is wandering around Naxos, and she's going to come across Orpheus eventually.

Rose wandered up and down the beach, looking for a quiet corner to put down her towel, but every time she thought she’d found one, a random stranger would throw a ball towards her, or a child would accidentally kick sand on her towel. Finally she found a perfect spot, only for a seabird flying over to let one loose on her head.  “Argh! I give up!” She turned inland and got out her phone to book a ride to Mount Zas on the site the hotel desk agent had shown her. Ten minutes later her car arrived, the enthusiastic driver willing to talk her ear off as he drove her to the parking lot, raving about the Cretzschmar's Buntings and Eleonora’s Falcons she would likely see at the summit. The cairns and trail markers he pointed out were easy to follow, and Rose enjoyed her hike, crossing the large slabs of rock near the beginning with care and peeking into the dark Cave of Zeus. The birds at the summit rode the air currents (falcons) and picked at the ground for seeds (buntings). The ocean glimmered in the sun on the horizon. She felt the stress of the last few weeks melting from her body. It was on her way down again that she was thinking about her next book and suddenly noticed that there hadn’t been a trail marker in a while. She looked around. Surely this was the same path she’d come up on? It looked the same. But there weren’t any trail markers around. Ah, well, she decided. She’d just go on and hopefully she’d see one soon.

@ilya-halfelven I'm sure you want to see this too!

Links to my tumblr posts, or go read the series on ao3. Most of these got one or two notes, besides myself reblogging them, except the first one which got my normal 20 or so notes.

(The next one is angsty!)

Please share the non-dreamling content so other non-dreamling fans can find it! I’ve tried to write more with my Gaulcienne series and now this one, but it really doesn’t get seen as much and I know there are people who are interested who just don’t know it’s out there. And please feel free to tag me in your posts about fics about Lucienne, Gault, Rose, Jed and Unity, I want to read them but also have trouble finding them!

“Rose! Look who came back!” At Chantal’s cheerful greeting the teal-haired woman in a leather jacket and cuffed jeans at the kitchen island turned around to face Rose. “Rose!” she called, reaching out with a huge smile. “Barbie? Is that you?” Rose stepped forward into a big hug, marvelling at the changes in her friend’s appearance. “It is me! Do you like my haircut?” She ran her hand through her short, asymmetrical undercut as Rose catalogued the pink, purple and blue pin on her jacket and the simple teal blouse which was unbuttoned to reveal a white camisole underneath. “You look amazing! How are you doing? Why are you here? I mean, we’re so happy to see you! But why are you here?”

Writing patterns meme

Rules: Share the opening of your last ten published works or as many as you are able and see if there are any patterns!

From this post by @dancinbutterfly https://www.tumblr.com/dancinbutterfly/735744268412534784?source=share

I'll mull about patterns here because I put the last two after the cut due to warnings. So, about half of them start with dialogue, which is how I started writing--a lot of dialogue, minimal else things. The other half start by getting inside someone's head--internal dialogue, basically, so not that different I guess. Also I try to start with something funny or at least interesting, to hook the reader? I don't know if it works.

Endless Family Trick or Treating

“It’s not a sphere!” argued Dream, swinging his jack-o’-lantern trick-or-treat bucket against the leg of his vampire costume. “It is a sphere!” insisted Desire, twirling the tail of their demon costume in their hand again. “I learned it in school and it’s round like a ball so it’s a sphere.”

2. Velma Meets the Family

Velma stared at the gently lapping water of the river, leaning her elbows on the railing. The rest of the gang was fast asleep in their motel, but she hadn’t been able to sleep so she’d come outside to think. The water sounds were restful, but her mind refused to stop whirling. 

3. Freddy the Robot Vacuum

It was amazing what a person could get used to. Hob had enjoyed his first robot vacuum. It was nice, and not a very difficult adjustment, to get used to the vacuuming being done automatically for him while he was out. The little phone app notifications were cute, and he was only human so he anthropomorphized his vacuum, naming it Freddy. Getting used to the anthropomorphic personification of dreams hanging around in his flat… took a bit more time.

4. Life is but a Dream

Rose put her head down on the desk. Why? Why would the words come in the middle of the night, and never when she had her laptop out and on? She’d even tried writing her thoughts down, but found that she actually couldn’t make out her sleepy handwriting in the morning. She looked at the tumblr icon on her desktop, sighed, and got up to get a cup of tea instead. That would be a shorter distraction. Probably.

5. Death is not easy to cheat

Unity poured tea in both cups and sat down across from Rose, pushing the plate of cookies toward her. “How are you doing, dear? You look tired.” “Oh, Unity! It’s been so stressful lately! I can’t seem to think of the right words when I sit down to work on my novel, but then they keep me awake in the middle of the night, you know? And during the day Lyta is either freaking out about Daniel being with Uncle Morpheus and Hob, or freaking out about him being so white and growing up so fast.

6. Trials of a Shapeshifter in Love

“Lucienne has been working so hard lately,” Gault explained to the Dream King’s head cook. “I’d like to do something nice for her. I was thinking a surprise romantic dinner over candlelight in the library.” “Ah, yes, I think she would appreciate that very much.” They put their heads together to plan the meal when suddenly Gault heard a familiar voice from the hallway.  “So, what have you already tried?” Lucienne asked. “Hell, all the normal plunging and clawing didn’t fucking fix the goddamned blockage, and it’s a fucking hassle taking the whole damned drain apart all the way back into the fucking wall.” 

7. Naga No-Go

“Lucienne.” Lucienne’s head popped up from the book she was studying. Lord Morpheus’ summons sounded just a little bit more… strained than usual. She turned her head, using her raven senses to triangulate the direction of the summons. His chambers??? This… could not be good.

8. Which Witch (Okay I'm cheating here because this isn't published yet. but if you want more, let me know and I'll post it on ao3 or send you a link.)

“You can’t just come in here without a warrant.” The cantankerous old witch put her hands on her hips and stood squarely in the doorway. Eldie sighed and rubbed the shaved hair at the nape of her neck. “Please let me come in, ma’am. Your daughter hired me to clean and cook and help you out, and I can’t help if you don’t let me in.” “I don’t need help, you shameless hussy! Who does she think she is, that gossiping busy-body! I’m fine here by myself. You can go now!”

Okay, under the cut are mentions of spiders, and non-con body horror. (The fic is not bad, the backstory from canon is, and that's where I started.)

9. Arachnophilia (mentions of spiders)

Zelda stared down at the cafeteria mac and cheese on her plate. The only thing appetizing about the middle school cafeteria food was that her mother wasn’t glaring at her and criticizing how she did or didn’t eat it. Instead, everyone ignored her, tucked into a corner. She would feel hurt about being shunned if she had any desire at all to interact with the other children. She didn’t. She closed her eyes and shoved a forkful into her mouth, thinking about her science project to distract herself from the taste. Spider webs were actually incredibly strong for the size of the filament, and they came in such an extraordinary variety of shapes and sizes. She couldn’t wait to get back to the library for more research. She opened her eyes as she swallowed, scooping up more food and quickly scanning the room. 

10. The Order of the Knights of the Dreaming (the actual fic I wrote is pretty sweet without much actual violence, but Alice's backstory from InCryptids is intense, so skip this next paragraph if you don't like mentions of non-con and body horror)

Alice closed her eyes and felt her memories and skin being ripped from her once again. It hadn’t actually been like that. In real life, she hadn’t figured out her memories were being adjusted for years, and she’d undergone the flensing willingly. But once she learned that her mind had been altered without her knowledge and that removing her skin had not been necessary but was done for the profit of her “uncle,” well, the nightmares about being violated had been unceasing. 

If you made it this far, congratulations, consider yourself no-pressure tagged!

Chapters: 1/16 Fandom: Discworld - Terry Pratchett, Original Work Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Original Characters, Original Non-Binary Character Additional Tags: Dragons, Witches, Wizards, Heroine's Journey, Bigger On The Inside, Family Secrets, Family Dynamics, Volcanoes, Saving the World, names have power, Not Canon Compliant Summary:

“You can’t just come in here without a warrant.” The cantankerous old witch put her hands on her hips and stood squarely in the doorway. Eldie sighed and rubbed the shaved hair at the nape of her neck. “Please let me come in, ma’am. Your daughter hired me to clean and cook and help you out, and I can’t help if you don’t let me in.” “I don’t need help, you shameless hussy! Who does she think she is, that gossiping busy-body! I’m fine here by myself. You can go now!”

Eldie’s new client is preparing to save the world, but does it need saving, or is it all in her mind?

I wrote this for my 7 yo self—a precocious reader but everything was too scary and needed more magical room to explore (and more dragons), and for my first NaNoWriMo ever!

And then I discovered that this could possibly fit under original fiction for Discworld. Like. Draco nobilis, Noble Dragons, though at present they can be called back with difficulty, existed in the wild a long time ago. A long time ago, perhaps before witches and wizards were codified along gender lines. Esmerelda, the spelling I used, is Granny Weatherwax’s name, which I did not remember but was probably subliminally influenced by. And the soul-walking I used was intentionally based on things from Discworld.
