Gelfling Stories

In Stonewood a young exceptional childling gets forcefully taken from his family and has no choice but to be taken in by the all maudra due to his vast knowledge at a young age. In this au, Rian lives with the all maudra as her adopted son with his three sisters and rarely his seefaring father. Read if you're interested! No characters are owned by me and all belong to the amazing Jim Henson company! Go watch age of resistance on Netflix or play the game or read the books!! Thank youuu!!

In The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, the most hated character is Seladon for many reasons. Is she absolutely irredeemable or a Gelfling who made forgivable mistakes? Spoilers for The Dark Crystal and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (obviously)

(Note: Everything in this story belongs to the original creators. I only own the character, Mavra. Everything else {including cover art} belongs to the original creators. This story is in the world of Thra and its characters are from the sequel comics to the original Dark Crystal Movie. If you're a fan of the Dark Crystal from the 80s or the new Netflix prequel of the Dark Crystal, I would highly recommend reading the comics as well! Now, onto the story.) Another world. Another time. Beyond the Age of wonder lived a thriving race--The Gelfling--ruled over by the wise Jen and gentle Kira, as well as their soft-spoken daughter, Mavra. But there is a sickness growing in the world of Thra. A sickness that no one thought would be brought back from the dead: the Blight. Now, it is up to Mavra and her friends, Kensho and Thurma, to restore the balance in her world and the world beneath hers.

This Dark Crystal fanfiction was written for Flash Fiction Month 2025 and is set sometime in the Age of Power.

A collection of ficlets for you or original characters to delve into the world of Thra. i'm happy to take requests, so don't hold back on sending some in or letting me know what you want to see ! i'm also happy to write AUS, i've read the books as well as watched the movie and age of resistance, so nothing is out of bounds! nsfw might be possible, but i'm on the fence. love is definitely in the air, and most will consist of fluff and exploring the world! the stories will be added as I find the time to!! thank u, and I hope you enjoy!

(Note: The plot and most of the characters in this story were created by me. The concepts of gelfling, Thra, Fireling, etc., all belong to the original creator and puppet master, Jim Henson. Everything else has been created from my imagination. This is also a SEQUEL to my first book "Beneath the Dark Crystal." If you haven't read that, I would HIGHLY suggest reading that first and then come back to this one. Also, cover art was made by me [@Magic_Is_Existing] so please do not steal nor borrow the art, especially without my permission. Other than that, enjoy the story.) Once again, Thra turns into another time and another place-and this time, it's beyond the Age of Harmony. Thra's closest creatures-the gelfling and fireling-are forgetting who they are and what they stand for. They break bonds and split ways, not realizing that both are one. Ignus-Ember Queen Thurma's only son-has been destined to fix the bonds between his people and the All-Maudra's, but will his actions all come down to nothing?

Might be a one shot, might update later we'll see....the concept is basically the story of The Good Place with a twist, it takes place during the with the gelfling who died during the show. I want to clarify I will not be copying and pasting The Good Place word for word "just with aor characters" there will be major differences with roughly the same story beats, some more emphasized than others. One last thing before we get to characters, some of the things in this fan fic will not adhere to official dc lore this is just for fun so some characters may act differently than they would in the tv show or books, hope you enjoy!! Here are the character roles so far: Ordon/Eleanor Mayrin/Tahani Tolyn/Chidi Gurjin/Jason and a couple changes to Michael/Janet to shake things up a bit! May have to add more later if the story calls for it but if you like the dark crystal and The Good Place, I think you'll be interested. Thank you for reading!!

Contains my OC SkekWhim. Please don't judge. I wrote this a long time ago.

I rate dark crystal ships!

In an unrealized take on the continuance of Netflix's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, we see Rian and Deet continue to unite the Gelfling Clans against the Skeksis in a war to unite the Crystal Shard to the Dark Crystal and defeat the Skeksis. This story will aim to make sense an end to the Age of Resistance to the beginning of the story as we know it in The Dark Crystal. I hope you enjoy the story.

~~~~~One trine since the Battle for Stone-in-the-Wood~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~One trine since the Gelfling Resistance~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~One trine since the Stonewood Rebellion~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~One trine since the Age of Resistance began~~~~~~~ One trine later. . . the fires of resistance continue to burn. . .

When single shines the triple sun, what was sundered and undone shall be whole, the two made one by Gelfling hand or else by none.... but.... what if it wasn't? What if Kira's death had been for nothing, and Jen had failed to heal the crystal? He still hasn't given up though. On the run from the wicked Skeksis, he, Auhgra, and Fizgig search for another means for restoring peace to Thra.

The Darkening has divided Thra and corrupted the land. Can 7 Gelfling heroes save Thra before its too late?

My Dark Crystal fan fiction. All characters are owned by Jim Henson and his excellent team of producers.

In the endless hush of the Crystal Desert, a lost Vapran diplomat crosses paths with a wild-hearted stranger - a desert child carved from sun and sand. This is the beginning of something neither of them can name yet: a bond forged by grit, laughter, and the ache of parting. Before politics, before duty, before the weight of titles - there was just Vhir, and there was just Sael, and the desert singing between them. A story of windswept beginnings, half-buried promises, and the first breath of something bright and wild.

!!REQUESTS OPEN!! Requests available for The Dark Crystal (1982) and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (2019). Gender neutral unless requested a specific gender. No nsfw, mild violence. ((CHARACTERS ARE NOT MINE))

Cova, a gelfling adopted by the omen of death aka a skeksis called "the reaper", gets into some trouble with a few Vapras, noble vapras. Instead of turning him to the all maudra for his apparent "crimes", the grumpy, non social stonewood gelfling is assigned with a task; to find the noble gelfing's daughter and to bring her back home. Once on this mission, Cova soon ends up finding the noble gelfling's daughter, Vanya. But something is severely wrong with her. To Cova's horror and (slight) annoyance, Vanya has been infected with the darkening, which has effected her to the extent where she has moments of insanity. After hearing Vanya quietly sing a lullaby to herself one night on their way back to the mountain village, Cova realizes they must seek out Mother Aughra, a myth according to every single gelfling, in order save Vanya from the darkening. The absolute worst part about this mission is the fact that the other Skeksies are becoming apparent of Cova's shenanigans and start hunting for him, to avoid a full out war and losing control of the Gelflings. This is set in the world of The Dark Crystal. However, I'm just going to ignore the rebellion for now I only own my ocs (Cova, Vanya, The Reaper etc) and the rest belong to the Jim Henson Company

How the skeksis, The Heretic, came to be. A prequel to the Age of Resistance.
