#draetos

Now that "Take These Broken Wings" (my beloved) is complete, it's time to look toward the next piece. And so I ask...

When Dain doesn't arrive at Drake's outpost when he's supposed to after weeks of being apart, Drake takes drastic action. Basgiath isn't ready for this flier.

Thank you to everyone who waited so long for Draetos 2 Electric Boogaloo, the Boot Revival! Very excited to share this fic with all of you. It takes place during the first part of Onyx Storm. If you have not read that book at all, I recommend waiting to read this.

Thank you to @climbthemountain2020, @suebswrites, and Jane for betaing this fic and helping me make sure Dain was Dain and Drake was Drake. Make sure you read the first fic before starting this one! You can find a snippet of the new installment below or read the whole thing on AO3!

It's WIP Wednesday!! This week I'm here with a little teaser of Draetos 2! If you were around for the the Riders Quadrant secret santa exchange, you've likely read part 1, if not give it a shot! Let's see what Drake and Dain will get up to this time...

"Draetos 1: Worlds Collide" takes place after "Iron Flame". "Draetos 2: Collision Course" takes place in the earlier parts of "Onyx Storm", and there will be mild spoilers for the book. There are no spoilers in this snippet.

Rules: you will be given a word. Then you share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that starts with each letter of your word.

Thank you for the tag @beesays! This is going to be fun. I haven't been writing nearly as much as I'd because I'm studying for my first board exam and boy does it suck the life out of you. But I've got several WIPs to pull from here!

S: “Someday you’ll realize you’re not capable of feeling, Eris - you’re just like me after all.” Azriel's voice was harsh, even in its quietude, the words biting through the night air between them. (Ogygia)

T: They were the most gaudy things Drake had ever seen, but Caspian liked to play into his name, and Drake couldn't help but indulge the man. (Draetos 2: Collision Course [Fourth Wing])

A: Azriel bit down on the rod they stuck between his teeth, bitter and dry. It sucked whatever liquid had been left in his mouth from his tongue and cheeks, but it did nothing to dull the pain. (The Song of Azris, Book 2: Dice & Figs)

R: Reaching for the papers without breaking her gaze, Neve cut back, “You must know that well. I wonder if there’s any fire left in your veins beneath the ice.” “Wouldn’t you like to know.” Conleth’s words were smooth, like fine liquor. Neve felt the fire then, and swallowed it down hungrily. (Unnamed poly "To Become A Vanserra" installment.)

Let me know if there's a fic you want to hear more about! Looking forward to finishing these so I can share them with you.

Tagging: @kale-theteaqueen @chunkypossum @dustjacketmusings @secret-third-thing @readychilledwine @yams-77

HAPPY SOLSTICE to my marvelous maven @saranova!!!! I have had the absolute best time being your wyvern this holiday season and I sincerely hope you had as must fun as I did playing our little game. Enjoy your fic, and the new ship!

Dain Aetos’ entire world has been turned upside down in the past few months. He never thought he’d find himself alone flying to a distant outpost to deliver what up until recently he would consider stolen contraband. What will he find when he reaches the flier’s outpost? What other life changing events are about to happen? 

Catch a splash below, or read the full fic on AO3!

Hello loves!! I'm back and ready to roll. I'll likely be writing at a slower speed early in this year as I prepare for a big test, but you know that I'll always deliver something. Right now I'm working on a few things:

🏛️ TSOA Book 2 is well underway. I'm trying to keep the chapters of this fic shorter, so we will see how long it takes!

⛰️ Inspiration struck and I couldn't help myself. I know I said I was working on Draetos first for FW, but I've started a Brennaolin fic instead. Haven't you always wondered what happened during the Battle for Aretia? Well - we're about to find out.

✍🏽 But don't fret - my Azris Dead Dove fic and the Draetos sequel are both on the docket for my next pieces after these two!

Can't wait to share more fics with you all. If you missed them, here are my last two pieces!

🔥 My Heart's Aflame, My Body's Strained (But God I Like It): What happened when Azriel brought Eris back to the Hewn City after saving him from Koschei at the end of ACOSF?

Hello all and welcome to the depths of depravity my masterlist! Here you will find all of my fics to date, which are available to read on AO3. While most of my work is currently ACOTAR based, I write for multiple ships across many fandoms and will happily hear your requests!

Azris Week 2024 🌶️💞

I've had all the inspiration and none of the inspiration simultaneously for weeks. There's a lot of pots on the fire right now, so let's give you a little run down...

🏛 I finally got past a part in "The Song of Azris" Book 2 that I was really struggling to write, yay for progress!

🐲 Draetos 2 now has a title, a canva, and is over halfway finished! I'm working on this fic today and hope to post it soon.

🔥 I'm working on not one, but TWO "To Become A Vanserra" fics right now! One is from the perspective of the house, and it's bursting with lore. The other is a fic I'm working on for @polysjmweek week involving Conleth, Fintan, and a very special someone from the Winter Court. ❄

🦇 I have planned a fic for @nameless-acotar-weekend that will focus on the relationships I set up in chapter 6 of "Take These Broken Wings" between the three nameless mothers of our favorite bat boys.

🏹 After reading Onyx Storm I developed several Brennaolin fics, some of which are related to "I'll Give It All" And some of which are completely separate. I plan to break your hearts with those as soon as I'm able.

😭 Do not fret, Azris angst lovers. I have not forgotten about the dead dove I promised you. It will come in time, though it will be much later than anticipated. Maybe I'll get it done before @azrisweek?!
