(art by @lunian)

A druid from a small village nestled in the Fells along the borderlands with Hydris, Aderyn lost her parents early. All that she has to remember them by is her mixed ancestry - half Kwaychan elf, and half Fellish. She's not sure who was which, but she doesn't let it get her down.

After all, she has still family that love her. Like her girlfriend Lona and Aderyn's surrogate grandpa - a great tree spirit named Hynafwr Onnen, the same who rescued her as a baby.

It seems she has everything she would want in her quiet village.

So why does it feel like something is missing?

as always my attempts to create a new oc have been thwarted by my brain not stopping and now we have too many... some of these are also for plot bunny asks so i will eventually go back and actually answer those too!

and as always, thank you @manyfandomocs @ginevrastilinski-ocs and @the-witching-ash for helping me out and letting me be annoyingly indecisive let's gooo

Gilmore Girls

Beatrice Dalton

Boarding school brat with very very neglectful parents (mom was young, old family friend of the Kims who was living with them in order to find a husband, ran off with an older rich British man). She exposed a secret society at her school for abusive hazing behaviour up to and including sexual assault, the students involved were punished but she was so heavily ostracized and bullied afterwards (both for ratting them out and for having been a victim of the hazing) that she could not stay at the school anymore. Her mom wants to send her away to heal from everything that happened and to get away from the bullying, her dad wants to send her away because writing about what happened to her was "bad for the family image", she's sent to live with their old friend Morey Dell and his wife – who did not know that she was being sent to them but did not turn her away.

Dates Jess in high school, endgame ship TBD

Heartstopper

Mei Xu

Tao's twin sister, golden retriever to his black cat. Loves to bake, take pictures, and write poetry. Possible Tara & Darcy, Imogen, or OC ship

Percy Jackson

Aderyn

daughter of Aeolus from the time of the odyssey – might have joined Odesseus’ crew after Aeolus gave him the bag of winds tbd – but Athena is mad at Aeolus for Odysseus’ voyage being sent way off course by the winds, can’t actually punish him so instead sends his daughter “off course” aka thousands of years into the future, she’s been living in her father’s palace because he wants to protect her but she ends up joining Jason’s quest in Lost Hero

Jason ship

Loralie Lovelace

Daughter of Aphrodite and a sorceress, Circe’s apprentice and a devoted follower of Hecate. Gets captured on the pirate ship along with Hylla and Reyna and is stuck on the ship for a few years before she can finally escape and, to her absolute shock, crosses paths with Percy Jackson once again

Percy ship, probably

Lucina

Daughter of Aeneas (maybe also a demigod, legacy of Aphrodite through her dad either way), considered the second hero of rome for her own quests back in ancient times, died idk how/why yet brought back by Gaia because she has a grudge against a lot of the gods for the destruction of Troy even though she was only a child when it happened, but then finds out that Gaia is also trying to kill Roman demigods and the legacy of ancient Rome and says absolutely the fuck not, turns on her to side with them instead

Percy & Jason ship but lowkey probably in love with Reyna too

Maliah

child of a sea deity – poseidon or someone else tbd – from the crew of the original argo. Pretended to be a man to join the crew, eventually her secret is revealed. It is eventually decided to let her stay but a few of the crew members are not okay with that and throw her overboard in the Sea of Monsters (drowned but didn’t really drown because of her parent), spat back out during Sea Of Monsters and meets Percy & Annabeth & Tyson, or possibly meets Clarisse instead

Romilly Chase

Annabeth’s twin sister, left behind when Annabeth ran away, eventually also ended up running away and after a while got found by Roman demigods and taken to camp Jupiter, never claimed because Athena knows that the Romans would despise her if they knew who she was (whether they knew that she was Greek or saw her as a child of Minerva)

Starts dating Jason and Reyna somewhere between Battle Of The Labyrinth and Last Olympian, doesn’t properly see Annabeth until Mark of Athena and it’s extremely messy

Might have her own Labyrinth quest at the same time as Annabeth’s but paths just don’t cross, tbd

Jason & Reyna ship

Hunger Games

Elysia Trinket

Effie’s younger sister, an escort by day (district 1 escort with Apollo, I think, or district 4) and a different type of escort by night. Started her career in the Capitol in entertainment (movies & porn) and as a sex-escort, which got her the connections to eventually become a hunger games-escort, continues her sex work because she enjoys it but along the way gets roped into the rebellion and her job gives her an easy way to collect and pass along information without raising suspicion

Ares Crane ship, her sex work is how she helps with his plans to overthrow Snow and is the liaison between him and the rebels (bc he’s not really part of 13’s rebellion just willing to work with them for a shared goal for now)

Regulus Cyrillus

Ares Crane's best friend since the academy, another one of the Capitol's rich and powerful, part of Ares' plan to overthrow Snow. Part of Snow's cabinet (alongside Ares, who heads the Department of the Treasury) as the head of communications). A master at chess and at hustling pool, both of which are reflected in his ability to manipulate people to get whatever he wants

Athena Crane ship

Ripley Brennan

District 4 Victor from the year after Finnick (his longtime best friend/first love, reaped because he attempted to refuse to become one of Snow's prostitutes). Having been victors four years in a row (and being young, attractive, very in demand victors who spent the most time in the capitol), the two of them + Cashmere + Gloss became very close and were beloved by the media as the Capitol's darlings, returns to the arena for the Quarter Quell

Finnick ship

Varian Aristides

Richest man in the Capitol, once fell in love with a tribute who died, now every year he is the biggest sponsor in the games (no sex, he introduces himself to each tribute for 5-10 minutes at the opening ceremonies and decides from that and their interviews, 74th games were the first time he sponsored two people and he chose Rue & Peeta). Had been an up and coming game maker until the tribute he’d fallen for died and he quit, tbd what his new job is but probably in politics somewhere. Secretly donates to the family of every dead tribute (not a huge amount but in the outer districts it still makes a huge difference), is very inspired when Katniss and Peeta donate their winnings to the other families. Long time friend of Tigris’, not hugely involved in the rebellion but smuggles some information to rebels and helps bankroll a lot of it.

“A foolish question, maybe, but… Do dragons dance?”

They smiled warmly, and the music felt far away. “Of course.”

“Do you then,” his mouth was working without him, and he was shocked to discover that he might be grateful of that fact. “Want to. Dance. With me?”

Part 2 of my Veilguard countdown artworks!

It’s just around the corner now!

Okay, if you orphan your fic for any reason -- I understand we're not supposed to out you as the author -- even if we have a handle on the connecting thread.

So here are fics which I know were all written by the same author, who shall remain nameless (who I never knew personally so I cannot reach them with thanks for orphaning rather than deleting from AO3)

The Sea in a Chasm, part 1 of Sussex "The news of Sherlock’s impending retirement hits John like a physical blow. He looks around for something reassuring to stare at, something comforting, but the flat seems suddenly foreign and he feels that he is falling, falling."

Boundaries, part 2 of Sussex, a short sequel " 'Do try to have some sense, John.' John leans back and waits for Sherlock to figure out why that wasn’t good. Sherlock, to his credit, doesn’t take long. 'That was—not an optimal reply. What I mean is, you deserve better. Than having to take, my, um, my feelings. On faith.' "

Battle [ as far as I know, the only 221B ficlet ever written from Ella Thompson's PoV ]

Entanglement "... he puts the fairy lights away poorly after every Christmas to guarantee that he and Mrs Hudson will sit together and fix them the following winter. He enjoys the tradition of solving a puzzle while Mrs Hudson gives him her undivided attention; Mrs Hudson puts on Christmas carols to soothe her nerves while she and Sherlock work, which allows him to listen to songs with which he has sentimental associations ... "

Ash, part 1 of Fearful Symmetry "... so is John, the firelight lining his face with shadow. 'You lied, you broke my heart, you won’t even tell me your fucking names, and I’m like you.' John’s voice breaks. 'What could be on that stick, what could I possibly find there, that could hurt me more than that?' "

Evergreen, part 2 of Fearful Symmetry PAY ATTENTION TO THE CHARACTERS AND THE TAGS

Filament and Feather "Feathers ruffle, settle. 'Crows like what’s luminous.' Sherlock swallows. 'You channel it, John. The light.' "

.

Filament and Feather is what got me interested in this artist; linked from a lovely little bit of poetry (not quite a 221b) written by aderyn; and inspired by one of @khorazir's earlier drawings in this fandom.
