Congratulations to @aveaveria for entering the Hall of Fame. 🥳💙

Averia has completed a Bingo on the Dick Grayson Bingo Card and with that has earned the badge Fingerstripes.

Check out her fanfictions for Nightwing 60th Anniversary here.

“Behold!” Fang bellowed, her voice echoing out over the titanic peaks of the Yun Mountains. “My firstborn!”

Lightning raised one eyebrow as an irate Averia squirmed in Fang’s grasp. However, the dark-haired woman simply held the infant up, the baby’s cries ringing clearly through the clear mountain air. “I’m going to guess that this is another Yun custom.”

“Not exactly.” Fang lowered Averia and held her close. “They say that the Father of the Yun was the first person to ever climb to the top of this mountain, the tallest of all the mountains, which is why we named it after him. According to legend, he received a vision here from his ancestors, and they showed him the glorious future that awaited the Yun if they stayed faithful and promised to never forsake this place, no matter the tribulations that awaited them. The Yun believe that there are places in the world where the veil between life and death is thinner than in others, places where we can speak to our ancestors and they can speak to us. This is supposed to be the greatest of all such places.”

Lightning nodded for Fang to continue.

“For so long Vanille was the only family I had left in this world, and I’m so glad to have her. Now... now I have you, Averia, and all of our friends. I wanted my parents - and all of my ancestors - to meet Averia.” Fang smiled, and the wind whipped past, sharp and biting. Yet for a split-second, Lightning could have sworn she heard voices on it. “I wanted them to see her with their own eyes to hear from me that their sacrifices were not in vain. I’m still here, and now so is Averia.”

Lightning chuckled and stepped forward. “I don’t know if you can hear me or see me,” she shouted. “But Fang is an idiot.” Her lips twitched. “But she’s my idiot. There is no one in the world that I would rather have by my side.”

Fang laughed. “See what kind of woman I married?” she yelled. The wind roared, and one of the great eagles that dwelt in the mountains swept overhead, its wings casting the summit into shadow for a moment. “I couldn’t be happier.”

Lightning’s gaze drifted over the mountain range below them. It was quite a view. “You’re going to bring our other children up here too, right?”

“Yeah.” Fang smirked. “I figure my ancestors would like to meet all of them.”

Author’s Notes

Fun fact: the Yun legends are actually true. Trajan has been to the summit of the Father, and he has confirmed that the spirits of the Honoured Dead (the Yun who lived good lives) can be felt there. Moreover, when Averia took Eira up there, Elsa commented on how odd the ice and snow felt on the mountain. Despite only the three of them being up there, she could not shake the sense that there were others nearby. Yet she never once felt threatened by them. She had the sense instead that they were watching with pride and satisfaction.

Jahne actually got a little freaked out when Diana brought Victoria up there. She introduced Victoria as ‘Fang Jr Jr’ before admitting that wasn’t her actual name. However, she thought her ancestors might find that name funny. Jahne slapped her over the back of the head, and she could have sworn she heard laughter on the wind afterward. Not to mention that she could ‘feel’ that they were not entirely alone up there (it was her, Diana, Fujin, and Victoria). Still, like Elsa, she got the sense that whoever was watching them was friendly and most certainly amused.

If you’re interested in my thoughts on writing and other topics, you can find those here.

Her best friends are a paranoid alchemist with a passion for poison and dual wielding, a slightly irrepressible and horny aromantic bird girl with the power to warp the fabric of reality, a man who hunts down the wandering souls of the damned using his magic sword for a secret society, and his twin sister who juggles knives and can manipulate fire, and, of course her consort, a mysterious and attractive guy who just showed up one day who is honor bound to serve her sexually but that's all anyone knows.

Together, this ragtag bunch must prove to a whole kingdom that's seen nothing but the young crown princess's irresponsible teenage ways that she's a worthy heiress to the throne. All the while hiding that she's getting help from a god who keeps trying to hit on her friends.

I'm super excited about this. My cast of characters is very diverse and includes NB people, african and asian coded charas, and multiple queer characters, and I look forward to showing the concept art. If I can't make it into a webcomic like I plan to, I do plan to novelize it and release it on Wattpad with A LOT of concept art.
