Then the witch came. 

Came out of nowhere, wielding that cursed sword, covered with poison.

She stabbed me. 

I felt the poison enter my veins as soon as the sword did. 

At that moment, I thought humans could not be trusted.

Somehow, they would always betray me. 

But something inside me broke

when I heard the boy crying over me. I decided I would try

one last time. 

In the name of love.

So, first off, my Arcane fic is finally in the works! Hooray! For those of you who don't know what it's about, it takes place in the alternate universe from episode 7 and is centered around the idea of Caitlyn & Vi meeting before Vi dies. Because of her connection to Vi, Caitlyn reaches out to & eventually bonds with Powder in the years after Vi's death. My primary goal for this fic is to explore the narrative parallels between Caitlyn and Jinx/Powder, because there's a lot, and also explain how the alternate universe got to be how it is when we see it. If that makes sense.

The fic is going to be titled "The Change That Comes From Loss" and I expect the first chapter will be posted sometime in early February! In the meantime, here's a little snippet of what I've got so far:

Other important update, chapter 3 of Discovery is in the works and is coming along nicely! Discovery is my HTTYD fanfic and the first two chapters can be found on ao3 HERE.

Like the Arcane fic, I expect the next chapter will come out in late January / early February, depending on how quickly I can write. In the meantime, enjoy a little snippet!

That about wraps everything up! These are probably going to be my only major projects for a while, though there are some other ideas floating around in my mind for oneshots and longer fanfictions. Send asks about them if you want to know more! I love love love talking about my ideas so don't hesitate to reach out!

Written for AU-gust, Day 18: Crossover!

Summary:

Hiccup is an explorer — always searching for new places and dragons alongside the other riders. So when a trader from the far west tells him a story of a kingdom called Hyrule — a place no Berkian has ever seen or even heard of — he knows he has to investigate, even if it's a long shot.
