“She just didn’t fly fast enough. Or maybe she didn’t turn fast enough. It didn’t matter really, except that Lumen knew it was her fault that Raimos was on the ground now, his scattered winglights flickering and sputtering in the dark water.”

I'm planning on writing for a variety of fandoms for this event through this month! I'm aiming for them to be short pieces; this seemed like a great opportunity to push myself to write a little each day and build up my body of work while I write my longer pieces. I'm also planning on some pieces for my other fandoms, including Supernatural, Ted Lasso, Final Fantasy IX. This first prompt, though, just kind of screamed out for Sky: CotL!
....also my gif at the top! :3 I've been thinking about posting some Sky gifs for a while - seemed like a good moment!

🦡 REED DEAN
Young, fearless, and driven by adrenaline, the boy from Berlin found a new form of freedom on the battlefield.
With only one year of service under the State of Farós, he distinguished himself on the front lines for his impulsive courage and quick reflexes, traits present since his childhood.
But beneath the uniform and the bravado, Reed harbors a calmer side: a fascination with constellations, which he observes whenever the chaos gives him a respite. For him, the stars are a reminder that there is still something greater beyond survival.
» Follow each post and explore the behind-the-scenes story of the creation of Elite Z.A.—where every scar carries a story.

I think the worst thing about coming back to tumblr is seeing the ghosts of the playgrounds I built and the friendships I made. Messages still in my inbox from more than a decade ago, from people who I couldn’t find again if I tried -- and I’ve tried.
