I've Freed Up A Few Slots, Try Again!

I've posted a new fanfiction to ao3! "The Fall Festival Fable", where Magister Merlin Starhawk gets a letter from Sinbad inviting him to Rustport to find out what the "Fall Festival" is, and Valen tags along for the impromptu vacation. Shenanigans ensue, causing chaos in Rustport and making Merlin question his mysterious past.

It's based on the Fall Harvest event that happened a while back, perfect for those who wanted for it to go more in depth, or for those who missed it entirely. It's also full of lore for Starhawk.

The work is finished, and every day two chapters will be posted until Sunday where I will post the final chapter! I'll also be posting an illustration (or two) for the fanfic soon.

(A small sneak peek at the first illustration)

A new skill??

@meepinmeat Alright so I'm spinning the wheel and it has spoketh with this prompt > Teaches a new skill to... Celestino

At most I can see Pirin teach him a new language?? Or weaving, making intricate tapestries if it piques Cel's interest. Sewing and knitting/stitching as a sort of just in case skill to have handy, you never know if/when it will pay off. Seeing as how Tino is a god/demigod... Vanya honestly doubts he can teach this funky Celestial man anything new or worthy to write home about.

Still tries! Or something adventure-related/travel wisdom?

Tea??

Prompt: Compare opinions about Lavinia with Starhawk

Well that's a funny situation, eh? @fujimomozane I can see for some reason Pirin ended up in Starhawk's Mythic House, likely chasing after an anomaly or just got it done with.. Or Merlin effed up again, either way here we are! Somehow the conversation goes to Lavi, and Vanya is trying no to gush about her - Like how well she's gotten with magic-wielding lately, or her combat prowess keeps growing (He's teaching her alll about combat. I mean it.) and how excited he is for her. (Dame and her hubby either bout to have their kiddo or already do.)

A chatterbox trying to suppress himself from babbling, let Starhawk actually get a darn word in, and apologizing about not letting him talk/chatting his head off.

A dance maybe..?

Prompt: Offers to dance with...Molpe

To be honest... He hasn't ran into Molpe very often or knows this magister well enough. May try to ask for a dance awkwardly in very broken Spanish, as he doesn't know the lingo. It's why he didn't teach Molpe a new skill as well- Not that Vanya doesn't like the Magister! Or is avoidant! ;-;) Pirin just really has no clue..

Bickering pt 3

Prompt: Playfully argues/banters with... Violyste

@magister-violyste Ahh yes, bickering or bantering. At least won't be an 'Edward Elric' moment this time around. Instead could be more of a back and forth of witty quips, exchange of knowledge. Pirin is known as a Burning star. Mind you, he's not quite regarded as a literal one... But who knows? Not much is known about the true origins of Night nymphs and many have speculated in the past for them to be actual stars, or star-spirits?? Simply these beings have some ties to the stars for sure in a way.

Bickering pt 4

Playfully argues/banters with...Zelda also known as 'Adherents!Soren bullying poor Mather again'.

@fgfirenation This man can't catch a damn break it seems. From being teased about being a literal star and enduring a good-intentioned cross-survey/ asked lots of questions, to being bullied for being short by a bearman again like last time. This time this fool has not one, not two but three to tease for being short-stacks. Pirin, primarily as the shortest of the trio, Raptor and Ludovic who brought this workaholic (work-addict) to the tavern. Otherwise Vanya and Zelda could swap tea about their partners.

Bickering pt 5 huh?

Or Celestino joins the bullying and later tea about partners. Seriously, what's with being teased left and right today??

Temporarily swaps universes with....Molpe I don't know anything about Molpe so can't say anything..;-;) Maybe Molpe becomes the Moon (like admin) of Pirin's Esperia if we're running the meta premise. But none of the squad knows Spanish so barrier goes hard unfortunately...

Another dance

Prompt is 'Offer to dance with...Sena' on the wheel heh. @bunnybird-afk Pirin offers his patron to dance, or simply these two hanging out as it's been likely so long since last time. It could be Desi dance or Bulgarian or a funky mix of the two for laughs, being silly. And does Malak's herald have tea to spill to him if he hasn't already about a certain Graveborn..

..Assuming that certain Graveborn hasn't broken the news to Sena first, in the first place.

Happy New Year, 2025!

Happy new year! For the year of the snake, here's Zorya- a flaming serpent (perelesnyk).

Hello world!

Apology.

Visual representation

of this scene

Bols has grown on me. The hilarity of his unyielding pursuit of profit is endless, and he's not really... evil, at all, he's just grey. And we get some indication that he does do good things sometimes. He's like Sinbad if Sinbad never met Merlin, you know? I like him.

"Chise, your lipstick's smudged."

Closeups.

Betrayal.

I don't know... Merlin looks pretty angry right now.

Mission.
