Title: worth so much more (after I'm a goner)
Author: TheCrazyAlaskan

Characters / Pairings: Tristan Farmiir, Akira Open
Word Count: 682
Warnings / Notes: Written for Round XIII of Hurt / Comfort Bingo: Haunted
Summary: Akira asks Tristan why he's not leading an army or serving as an advisor.

Understand—this is a D&D story, but this character is 100% a Sentinel Prime reskin and I am still unapologetically Sentinel Prime's biggest fucking fan. I love that traumatized fucker so much. My DM even commented This is a really good backstory when I pitched "Tristan." Thanks, Courtney, I retooled it from my favorite TFA character. :P

I'm leaning into the Tristan and Isolde parallels with my whole chest and both titties because I will die on this ship's hill.

🜂 🜂 🜂

Can I just take a minute to geek out / cry about Zuko's character arc / glow up?

My favorite character type is definitely "asshole with a heart of gold and underlying trauma" and great goddamn, does Zuko fit that bill! I mean honestly, he was practically just a baby when he lost his mother, the woman who instilled in him the values of kindness and compassion—the values his father loathed, the values that made him speak out to save a troop of new recruits and that caused him to have to face his father in a fight that got half his fucking face burned off. Call me a softy but I look at him and I see a little boy who lost his mother and hurts for it.

ANYWAY. Zuko's character arc is fucking legendary and I wanted to explore the idea that his mother would no doubt approve, a concept that was helped along with the song "Proud of Your Boy" from the Aladdin musical.

Warnings / Notes: TW: Major Character Death (off-screen) // Written for Round XI of Hurt / Comfort Bingo: Cursed
Summary: Such skill should not go unappreciated, even in death.

Everybody pour one out for my poor Drow bard who died in the line of duty. She was the last one to fall, though, so there's something to be said there I think?
even though I surrendered her character sheet to the DM when she died, this is far from canon—she'll be returning in November 2020 for NaNoWriMo!
