Brave and unfaltering, she has pushed to find her place in the world - seeking her stoic fathers approval, grieving the death of her mother years after the loss, dealing with the uncomfortable feelings that have risen from her best friend Ivar - and the blow of complete betrayal from her clan and village. Always feeling as though she is an outsider, she must find a way out of a betrothal that she was unwillingly bartered with.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘩 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 ᚠ A slow-burn historical fantasy of grief, duty, and quiet destiny ᚠ "We left behind the Gods of heat and honey. My mother said we would find peace in the frost. Instead, she found death. And I? I found silence." In the snow-wrapped North of Orenvik, twenty-year-old Nadine Darras lives a life not quite hers. A foreign healer among tribal kin, she is tolerated but not seen. Her father no longer speaks of the South they fled a decade ago. Her mother, lost to sickness, remains buried beneath the frost-and in Nadine's throat, where grief never fully thawed. She heals wounds, burns herbs, and keeps her hair covered on quiet days. Survival is her only rhythm. Until a wedding. And a chief. Styrimir Vikarsson, the young chieftain of Orenvik, has united villages and bled for peace-but avoids Haulund, the quiet village where a past he cannot face resides. Bound by tradition to bless the marriage of two strangers, he returns for the first time in years. He does not expect to stay. He does not expect Nadine. He does not expect grievance and silence either. And neither does she. As Nadine navigates the shifting currents of grief, politics, and the sharp contrast between North and South, she finds herself tangled in far more than herbs and quiet healing. ✦Some unions bind more than lovers. And some threads, once pulled, unravel everything ✦

When the fault falls on Venus, Venus finds her own sand dial has been flipped and she must now set forth on a perilous journey against time.

But, is it possible to change the fate of someone that thrives in darkness? [This story is a work in progress. I simply write, post, and save the editing for later. Expect a lot of mistakes.

Artificer, old, aching and now an urban legend to younger generations of scavengers, currently trying to move on from her old life from the cycles she has had with the scavengers she once called family, now having a scavenger that heals her fresh wounds and soothes her old ones. Who is she? (Btw everything I write including the description is a rough draft, however once I publish a chapter now it's fully cannon to the fan fic so you don't have to worry if it's a rough draft or not it is the final product, I'll tweak some things here and there but over all it's official with some visual art coming soon, I'm gonna try to depict artificer as accurate as possible without her being the stereotypical 'annihilate every single scavenger she sees'. Your girl is getting old. Relax) (ALSO! Nsfw warning, but it's gonna take me a bit to get to the chapter where I'll give you the second warning, but I'll also give nsfw warnings if there's blood, bones, or gore involved, if you don't want to read abt artificer being in a fan fic with an nsfw warning, that's fine, everyone has their opinions however I'll still be writing it) (Please leave me with feedback, this is my first time posting a full fan fic of artificer and a scavenger) Im also doing this for fun so I won't be posting as often but once in a while I'll come back to it Visual art coming soon!
