Wof Scarlet - Blog Posts

More from the Glory being raised by Webs AU! So some comments in my last post brought up some really good points about how Glory leaving early would affect the plot of book 1. Additionally, I saw a post (for the life of me I cannot remember where on tumblr I saw it but it was here) saying that Peril should've been the one to give Scarlet her face scar. Soooo taking these two ideas and putting them in a blender, we got something for this AU.

More details under the cut as well as an image!

TW: burn scars, scarring, and eyestrain

So, since Glory is no longer there when the Dragonets (or what's left) is found by Scarlet, Glory and Webs in long gone (we'll get back to those guys once I figure out what happens with them), there's really no one to take out Scarlet at the moment (foreshadowing). I'd probably make Peril younger in this AU mainly bc I don't like the idea of her being the only adult in the Jade Winglet. Peril has always been an interesting character, she's someone who's literally been manipulated from childhood and conditioned to act a certain way. I'd imagine her still being very loyal to Scarlet, but a little angry (bc she should be WAY angrier in the books, girl literally had her life robbed by Scarlet). I also imagine she does a lot of things without thinking and on top of that has a lot of anxiety over who she should trust/what she should do etc. When Peril initially befriends Clay, she's just glad to have someone to talk to and she can finally start building her nonexistent social skills (in this AU I also imagine she's 10x harder to talk to bc of her lack of social skills). Clay brings up the idea of escaping and Peril joining the group, but this makes Peril very nervous. Scarlet was all she ever knew, and leaving that was kind of scary, so she declines. Overtime, Peril learns from Clay that her life is not really normal (or healthy), this instills a lot of doubt in Peril, but she still trusts Scarlet, after all, she took her in when no one else would (lie). Eventually comes Kestrel's trial, which is when Peril figures out what Scarlet did, which shatters her whole world and makes her start to resent Scarlet. Fast forward to the arean match between Clay and Peril. Peril is about to win the match, she turns on Scarlet and tackles her, causing Scarlet's melted face. She then helps the other dragonets and guardians (not sure if Dune or Hvitur will be alive at this point) and skidaddle.

btw I got the idea for the Peril design from this post right here

Me: I'm bored.

*starts casually building a life sized head sculpt of Queen Scarlet to put on the wall*

It doesn't even fit in the frame😭

It also lights up....

Rough idea for a Wings of Fire piece I may eventually do.
