    Summary

    The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.

    To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various dubious magical spells.

    In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?

    What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.

    Summary

    After accepting Gale's offer to teach him magic, Astarion learns a thing or two about himself he'd long forgotten. Now he just needs to decide what to do with this information.

     

    Now Gale’s smile did fall, a firm, confused frown taking its place. “You didn’t feel that?”
    “Feel what, darling?”
    “That . . . crackle, in the weave when you casted? You truly didn’t sense the way it clung to you?”
    Astarion rolled his eyes, waving the wizard off.
    “Astarion . . . do you not know you’re a sorcerer?” Gale asked, his frown deepening.

     

    Chapter Nine is now up! Chapter description:
    Astarion decides to give being a hero a chance. He wasn't expecting it to all collapse on him (literally AND figuratively).

    Rolan is an idiot, Astarion thought, not for the first time, and then when a little careful giggle came from a few of the children, he realized he’d said it out loud.
    Astarion busied himself examining the collapsed wall of dirt and stone blocking their exit. He started to dig a bit towards the top, but the tumbling of stones above them caved in farther, driving him back into the tunnel. Shit.
    "Mister Astarion? I need to pee.”
    Shit.

    Summary

    Éowyn and Faramir both awaken in the Houses of Healing, following the Battle of Pelennor Fields. Faramir faces an uncertain future as the new Steward of Gondor, and he struggles to confront his losses. Meanwhile, Éowyn is dismayed that she did not meet the end in battle that she desired, and struggles to see prospects for herself beyond death as a soldier. By chance, the two of them are drawn together. Will they find hope and healing in one another? How will they build a life and love together from the ruins of war and the crumbling of an age?

    This is a detailed gap-filler & book-canon compliant story, detailing how Éowyn and Faramir built their relationship together in the Houses of Healing and beyond, into the Fourth Age. It is intended to be a slow burn with copious characterization, eventual romance, and context-appropriate spice.

     

    The story is in-progress as of September 2025. Due to work/life stuff this summer updates will be slower until late Aug/early Sept '25, thank you for your patience! I will update this description and mark complete when finished.
