  2. Summary

    Discord chat comes up with so many amazing AU ideas but theres no way to ever write them all. *sobs*. So I wanted to try at least exploring some of them using the ‘Chaucer’ format invented by Anghraine - seven scenes of seven sentences each - in order to keep it under control.

  3. Summary

    This is a self-indulgent soulmate AU. Will probably be a collection of small snippets.

    I'm resisting the urge to do too much word but basically soulmates in this 'verse are not universal but not vanishingly rare. Most people might have a friend of a friend of a friend who is soul-joined, or has at least one in their family tree. So society hasn't completely reshaped around the phenomenon, but its common enough that it gets official recognition. For legal purposes, soul-joined pairs are mostly treated 'as one.' They can't be compelled to testify against each other, two women soul mates can share the position of official wife and two male soulmates marry the same woman, if one soulmate is found guilty of something the other will share the same fate...

    Summary

    “The rock,” Jingyi says, voice very very unstable. “Hit the rock, shixiong, fuck, no time to break the wards, hit the rock —”

    The Killing Chord strikes Jingyi’s appointed boulder. It cracks that in half, too.

    Not half a second after Lan Yuan follows Jingyi into the crevice, the yaoguai strikes the stone, talons scrabbling at the crevice, beak pecking at the entrance they’ve made themselves. A red, furious, glowing eye peers in after them, and Lan Yuan stumbles back blindly, vaguely downwards. He’s staring at the entrance, at the clear and present danger. Neither of them are looking backward.

    In hindsight, it’s the worst mistake they make all day.

     

    Wei Ying has spent years sealed under a mountain. It's just his luck that the kids who break him out of it are Lans.

    Summary

    "Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."

    “Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”

    "Very," Rocky hums.

    My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"

    Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

    Summary

    “How is it, exactly, that you managed to get yourself kicked out of Estë’s gardens? Reading this does not give me the impression they sent you here because you were wholly healed.”

    Celebrían, who did not feel particularly healed, but did at least feel angry, which was more emotion than she’d been able to conjure in over a year, said, “I was asking questions.”

    “Ah,” said Finrod, “yes. That would do it.”

    --

    Celebrían prepares to mount a legal challenge for the right to see her husband (no, the other husband) reborn. For this, she must gather allies from across Valinor and out of the wreckage of the House of Finwë. Perhaps along the way, there is healing to be found too.
