A new book means time for a new post, I think!
My Kiesha’ra fanfiction Crowform follows the narrative of Hawksong and Snakecharm by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes (with a few minor changes coming up in Snakecharm) from the point of view of the character known as Andreios.
Heads up - this fic has MAJOR spoilers for Snakecharm. Chapter 18 of the fic - which picks up where Snakecharm begins - is up now!
If you haven’t seen it, @raevenlywrites has an excellent Kiesha’ra fanfic out there called The Ties That Bind.
But one fic isn’t enough for my perfect Rei/Danica/Zane OT3, so I have finally begun writing the fic that I want to see in the world!
Crowform retells Hawksong and Snakecharm (with some alterations, especially throughout Snakecharm, to make the OT3 happen in text), from the POV of Andreios.
WARNING: MAJOR SNAKECHARM SPOILERS RIGHT FROM THE OUTSET
They say that the first avian was a woman named Alasdair, light and golden and raised by hawks, who gifted her people with similar forms.
It is a pretty myth, but the truth of the avians’ origins is as lost to time as the reasons for their generations-old war with the serpiente, their enemies. Our enemies.
We train, and fight, and kill. We mourn, and weep, and fight. No one knows how the fighting began. No one except perhaps my mother, and her Empress, and their court. They were around that long, that much I know; and they are steeped in enough power to glance as easily at the distant past as at a mirror, even if they were not there. But the shm’Ahnmik remain aloof from this conflict, except to offer the am’haj poison that gives the avians a fighting edge against the serpiente and perpetuates the war, except to send a bored young prince as an ambassador, with the offer of full protection in exchange for full subjugation.
But for all her centuries, my mother never learned to be careful where she sends a bored young prince, in case he doesn’t want to return. Or in case he’s in no position to fly home.

The alliance between the avians and my mother’s court is a fragile one, if it can even be called that; a falcon would never be welcome here. That is why I count it a blessing that I wear a crow’s form that I no longer remember how to shuck, because it is in the Hawk’s Keep that I am determined to make my life.
Even if it means losing it amidst the never-ending fighting.
My kind are long-lived, and time moves slowly on the white island, but I know that if I do not lose my life in the fighting, I will not be allowed to remain away from Ahnmik forever. So I must savour this time while it lasts, even if it is, at times, difficult to savour.
Days and weeks and years, and for almost every moment since I arrived here, I have been a liar. I wear the face of someone I once called friend, and it is more familiar to me than the one I was born with. My magic, already neglected, must surely have withered in the face of all the lies I have told, to everyone around me, every minute of every day. I lie every time I answer when they call me by name.
Days and weeks and years. I will never be able to be honest with the woman I love. I will never be able to tell her who I am.
Days and weeks and years.
How long until my mother’s Mercy comes for me?

Hey Amelia Atwater-Rhodes thanks to you I am now crying in the back of my bio class while reading Snakecharm. It's not like Kel and Andreios were my favorite characters or anything
