#aedionwhitethorn

The banner comes up around page 350 in the kindle edition of Six of Crows!

“Saints,” he said, feeling a little sick. “Grisha colors.” 

Wylan squinted. “The banner?” 

“Red for Corporalki. Blue for Etherealki. Purple for Materialki. Those are pieces of the kefta that Grisha wear in battle. They’re trophies.” 

“There are so many.” 

Hundreds. Thousands. I would have worn purple, Jesper thought, if I’d joined the Second Army.

I’m not taking prompts right now, sorry! but i do have a couple of helnik things done already, and there are another couple of prompts in my inbox that i will probably fill over the next week.

HOLYSHITTHIS THIS IS SO GOOD *dies* YOU ARE A SAINT

I was tagged by the lovely aelincarstairs thanks April :) And I’m going to tag fallenaelin, kingdorianhavilliard, wishingonthenorthstar, aedionwhitethorn, and jemcarstvirs :)

Rules: Answer that 11 questions from the person that tagged you, then write your own 11 questions and tag other people. Let’s start!

What is your favorite meme? Probably the “yell something offensive in a crowd if you lose someone” meme. I love seeing it, especially when it’s from different fandoms

What is your fictional crush? I have a lot of fictional crushes, but the first one that came to mind was Will Herondale :)

If you could live in a fictional universe what would it be? Either the Shadowhunter world, or Snow Like Ashes. (I’m not saying ToG because they still haven’t figured out how to get magic back yet).

Who is your favorite musical artist? EXO, as of right now. I have a lot of favorites though, which include: Fall Out Boy, Halsey, and Taylor Swift.

What was your favorite childhood show? I had a few, but I really miss Zoobumafo (I’m not sure if I spelled that correctly).

Favorite celebrity? Tons I have tons of fav celebrities, but right now I am currently obsessed with stalking the EXO members on social media, so Chanyeol and Baekhyun?

Favorite holiday? Christmas :)

Favorite book? I have several favorite books. My top 2 are Clockwork Princess and Heir of Fire.

What is your dream vacation? Going on a cruise to either Spain or Greece, or both.

Do you believe in aliens? Nope. Well, maybe...I don’t know...

Would you want to be a wizard, shadowhunter, vampire, or werewolf? Shadowhunter :)

And these are my questions:

If you could be fluent in any language what would it be?

How many languages do you speak?

Favorite female character?

Pepsi or Coke?

If you could be reincarnated, what would you look like?

Would you rather live in a book or a movie?

What’s your spirit animal?

If you could have any hair color and it looked good, what color would you choose?

What’s your favorite song?

Favorite perfume/cologne scent?

Why are you asking for one, Viktoria, you extremely talented person? Anyway I hope you don’t mind having a crush on Petrah. We all do so whatever, you know.

Every time she tried to construct aflower crown, it never worked. Viktoria always managed to scratch herself onrose thorns or contract an itch from poison ivy. But those injuries were simplyexcuses—she was a witch, after all—for not being able to weave properly.

Meanwhile, Petrah Blueblood had notrouble at all. The girl was flawless in whatever she did whether it weavingflower crowns or seducing a man or ripping out his heart. The heir was currentlymaking a crown out of ivy and impossibly tiny lilies of the valley. Her hands,of course, were unmarred.

The wind started again—a commonalityhigh up in the Fangs—blowing away Viktoria’s frustrations. She smiled as the vinesand petals flew away from her. Naturally, Petrah was wearing her effortless workon top of her brass coils. The breeze gently nudged her hair, but not enough tomake it fly in her face like it was doing to Viktoria’s.

The heir closed her eyes in content,though she did not smile. A smile from Petrah was rare and deserved to betreated like a blessing from a goddess.

“This is better than an irondiadem, yes?” Petrah said, her eyes still closed.

Iron diadem… It took Viktoria a fewmoments to remember that the Blueblood Matron wore a crown of spiked ironstars. “Natural, pretty, poisonous…” Viktoria murmured carefully. “I believeso, yes. It’ll make other witches underestimate you, certainly.”

Petrah’s blue eyes revealedthemselves. “Excellent,” the girl said, drumming her fingers on the tall grass,neglected and forgotten by the nomadic herders who had heavily populated theFangs before… well before everything had gone to shit in Erilea.

“Would you look at that,” Petrahsaid, rising. Viktoria, still seated, looked over to the spot Petrah was gazingat to find a kid. Not a human child, unfortunately. But a baby goat, wobbling.All alone.

Viktoria wondered what Petrah—a girlof mystery and beauty and death—would do. She walked towards the animal.

I have read Deathless! My understanding is that both Grisha and Deathless are informed by the same folklore/myth, although Deathless is more of a direct translation. 

For alarkling, check out gizkasparadise and starforged! In particular, Start a War is probably going to be your jam, but both of them have a bunch (and i mean a bunch) of one-shots and bits and pieces that will probably be up your alley c:

So I just wanted to give all of my followers a heads up before it begins: I am taking part in a fanfiction battle of sorts with the following people - fallenaelin, real-bad-wolf, wishingonthenorthstar, aedionwhitethorn, arobynnwhitethorn and prince-rowan-whitethorn.

We all decided it would be really fun and interesting to write a scene/a few scenes about Rowan’s cousins (which he mentions briefly on page 337-338 in Heir of Fire). None of us are really sure exactly what we’re writing in terms of when it’s going to take place or where, but we’re all very excited to be doing this and to be able to receive feedback from all of you.

On August 15th we will all be releasing our fics (and then making a masterpost so that you have the links to everyone’s fics that are participating). I’m making this post now to let you all know what we’re doing, and that when we publish our fics and the masterpost, there will also be a site (either a poll or typeform) that you can all fill out to tell us whose fic you liked the best. You will be able to vote and leave comments for your favorite, and at the end of the voting period (I think we’re giving it a week or something like that) then we will announce the winners of the battle :)

Now, this is just for fun, and in no way does the results of the battle mean anything other than that people liked the winner’s story. This isn’t a means of trying to compete to see who the best writer is, not at all. It’s just something fun that we all wanted to do, and it’s kind of like a treat for all of the fans out there that are waiting for Queen of Shadows to come out (we’re all super excited and impatient for the release as well). Also, to make sure you support all of the writers, go follow them (a lot of them regularly post fanfic anyway, and they’re all really good writers!)
