Wip Intro - Tumblr Posts - Page 2

Heavily based on and inspired by the "Folk of the Air" series, "A Court of Serpents" is a fantasy, character driven IF focused on the romantic aspect, created with an 18+ audience in mind. A retelling of the books written by Holly Black, it deals with heavy themes and topics such as mind manipulation, sexual content, kidnapping, swearing, violence, non consensual use of drugs, alcohol, questionable morals etc. (Wow, that's a lot of words to say "fanfiction turned IF".)

As the only human in the Kingdom of Faerie, you're no stranger to shining eyes that hold looks filled with hatred, lips painted in the color of forest fruits whispering your name, heads with pointed ears turning at your every step. Though you long for their approval, for a place amongst the wicked immortals, they remind you with every breath you take that as you came from dirt, to dirt you will return.

Prince Ryzan and his friends, Nailea and Zale, are the worst of them all. They humiliate you, laugh delighted at your despair, and sometimes they gaze at you with such distaste that you know they'd rather you dropped dead right in front of them. You try to avoid them at all costs, but they always manage to find you and throw you into the midst of chaos that only leads to your complete and utter embarrassment.

But tonight things are different.

Tonight, another human comes before the court of these serpents.

Tonight, they are accused of stealing a mortal girl, a glamoured servant, to the human world and murdering her. But did they actually do it?

Tonight, they are thrown in the Tower of the Diminished until their fate is decided by the cruel folk.

And everything turns to mayhem and disarray as you seize the opportunity to become the salvation or damnation of the Kingdom of Faerie, shall you decide to stay or escape.

But you overlooked that love, and perhaps betrayal, would come in the way of your plans.

Fully customizable MC (including name, gender, pronouns, appearance, personality, sexuality).

Romance 1 of the 4 morally questionable and slightly unhinged ROs — including 2 elves, 1 merfolk and 1 human.

Learn how to handle a knife. And a sword. And maybe, just maybe, how to murder someone.

Not everything is as it seems and not every kiss is as honest as you might think.

RO POVs because we're all suckers for that.

Explore the Kingdom of Faerie and its whereabouts and dance until your feet hurt and your mind is dizzy at balls and revels.

Uncover long lost, but well kept, court secrets and decide what you're willing to sacrifice to survive.

Ryzan (he/him) - As the Prince of the Kingdom of Faeries, Ryzan knows he is allowed to do anything and everything and anyone he wants. His friends might make your existence miserable with taunting insults and disturbing behavior, but he is the worst of them all, letting it all happen while drinking his pomegranate wine and watching you with a cold smile and eyes that hold something more than hatred in them. He hates you, he hates you, he hates you. But if his hate feels like fire, how would his love burn you?

Nailea (she/her) - Sent in the Kingdom of Faerie as a peace treaty between her mother, the Queen of the Undersea, and the King of Faerie, Nailea hasn't tried to hide the way her nose scrunches up in disgust at the mere sight of you. She doesn't waste any opportunity to humiliate you, lavishing in the way your shoulders slump with a defeated sigh when you know she's won the battle. Nailea can't stand you, that much is clear. She always sends that subtle, but menacing, smile your way as if she knows something you don't, and you'll find out soon enough that Nailea is someone that should never be trusted.

Zale (he/him) - He might not be royalty, but he's managed to find himself in Ryzan's graces and, of course, his friend group of slithering snakes. Zale has never pushed or shoved you, he has never insulted you or made you bleed. How could a kind faerie like him end up tangled with such horrible company like Ryzan and Nailea? He smiles at you, he looks out for you, he dances with you at revels. But you know something is wrong from the way his crimson eyes twinkle with deceit, and you'll have to remind yourself that his lies are as pretty as he is.

Silas (they/them) - There are no normal humans in the Kingdom of Faerie, all of them being glamoured to be mindless and senseless servants, except you. Until Silas comes along, that is. The court says they came here to steal one of the servants, and even killing her along the way, sending the kingdom in waves of chaos and confusion. But as you get to spend time with Silas, getting to know them a little bit more every day, you find out with every soft touch and silent laugh that their story has to sides. They need your help to escape back to the human world and you realize they're your ticket out of the Kingdom of Faerie. You might not die trying to escape, but you might die of heartbreak if betrayal comes your way.

DEMO TBA.

I’m not new to writblr I did an introduction a while ago but I ended up never posting anything because life and my mental health got in the way and I actually ended up abandoning writing for some time, but I’m better and things are better so I’m going to give it another go. Hello, my name is Lilly, my pronouns are she/they, and my hobbies include being unhinged and feral, daydreaming, and hoarding books. Personality type is INFP-T, do with that what you will.

The writer; babbling prophet who occasionally strikes god gold, contemporary, fantasy, starting projects and never finishing them, sci-fi, gothic horror, descriptions descriptions descriptions, unsure how to perceive myself so this is pretty speculative.

The aesthetic; wildflowers, tangled hair and skimmed knees, divine madness, not entirely human, the soft glow of an orange streetlight in winter, raging storms, magic with a price, liminal spaces, frogs, frost, body horror, enemies to lovers.

I’ve decided to introduce my main WIPs in a separate post as I didn’t want this re-introduction to be too long. Anyways it’s nice to be back from the dead!
