Put “📓” or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I’ll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven’t written but daydream about.
Let's go for a Dragonfable one this time! Specifically, I want to talk about the plot of How Our Bodies, Born To Heal!
I've alluded to this fic before (in my "ask me about my wips" ask game) but despite it being one of my wips that actually has a name, I've not actually written any of it yet! A few planning notes and a couple of lines of scattered dialogue but nothing of substance, so it's still firmly in daydream zone for me
It's about Katia Danao! The plot is that, once she graduates from Edelia and leaves home, Katia takes up adventuring in a sort of aimless way, not really sure what she wants to do or who she wants to be or anything, especially given the grief she's grappling with, since Barvra died right before she graduated.
And then, very abruptly, she finds something to dedicate herself to, because she manages to discover, via a friendly mage who noticed and is genuinely surprised that she didn't know, that her bloodline is oh-so-very cursed (thanks for that, Tanislav & Roirr!) and she is not having any of that, thankyouverymuch. Katia's on a mission now and that mission is breaking that curse.
Also the title is from Sleeping At Last's Mars:
Our questions ricochet
Like broken satellites
How our bodies, born to heal
Become so prone to die?
