Devotion, Self-sacrifice, Death.
The price of power and immortality.
Follow along with Thera, Behemoth-29, and Celeste's day to day life before the Tower falls.
Then come and experience their lives after the Red War. Trying to recover from losing everything.
The trials of being a Guardian are not for the faint of heart.
But, the Light will provide.
This is a repost from my OC intros on tumblr. I wanted them to flow better into this story so I have decided to make them the first 3 chapters to help with world building and context. Happy reading!

The Strong and Silent Type [DESTINY2XOC] (NO LONGER CANON)
Arjun has been considered "The Guardian" for quite some time. How does holding such a title affect a person? After coming out of the Red War, Arjun realizes that they've got some discovering to do, and some growing to commit to. Basically a Destiny 2 story (or collection of stories) with some Destiny 1 references. I could've written out the Destiny 1 stuff but honestly I'm too lazy so you get the tidbits. Enjoy! Also the title art is my own :) P.S: This work is now no longer canon and will not be continued as I want to do a rework of Arjun and Gwaine as well, so this is out there for fun more than anything else. I may or may not rewrite a story for the characters, but we'll see if I'm still interested in Destiny by then! Either way, Enjoy
The Second God ( Artemis X Cayde )
Olympus was attacked by the darkness. All the gods died trying to defend themselves. Even Zeus was powerless. The Olympians died and a new God came. The Traveler. With his light he created the Guardians. Dead people were reborn as guardians and with Traveler's light they go against the darkness. But darkness is really powerful and the Traveler needs help. So, he creates a special ghost. A ghost looking like the others but far more powerful. A ghost which is fated to reborn a God. Artemis, one of the most powerful Olympians, daughter of Zeus and Lyto, big Apollo's twin sister, Goddess of the Hunt is reborn by that ghost. They both know nothing about their powers, their past or their destiny. Artemis, like all the Guardians, forgets her past. She doesn't hate men and she remembers nothing about her virginity vow. With the other gods dead, this oath means nothing. She meets and falls in love with her Vanguard, Cayde-6. #31 artemis 9/4/21 ( day / month / year ) #1 oryx 9/4/21 ( day / month / year ) #1 thetakenking 9/4/21 ( day / month / year ) #19 destiny 3/6/21 ( day / month / year ) #23 destiny2 2/6/21 ( day / month / year ) #1 zavala 9/9/21 ( day / month / year ) Disclaimer : This is a combination of Destiny 2 ( The video game ) and Greek Mythology.

A Legend Reborn.
The Golden Age- When the Traveler arrived, a time of peace, prosperity, and infinite possibility sprouted from Earth. Mankind had launched hundreds- if not, thousands- of journeys across the system, connecting Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, even Mercury into an increasingly large web of life and technology. Fast forward to the end of the Golden Age- The Collapse and the Dark Age- alien races surge forth from outside the system- the Eliksni, the Hive, The Cabal, The Vex- all coming for the Traveler. He fought them all, sending his Light, his Power out, crushing the opposition. Then, He was crippled, retreating to a small town. Fast forward to the beginning of our age- The City Age- With His dying breath, The Traveler created the Ghost- small machines that can revive those capable of wielding the Light- His Power- and fight the Darkness. The Hunters scout out terrain, reclaim Dead Zones, and are the eyes and ears of the City- the Warlocks research the secrets of the fundamental ideas of the Darkness, predict future events, and enthrall themselves in the workings of the Light to understand it and to find new ways to work it into the Guardians arsenal- and finally, the Titans, Defenders of the Last City, and the burning lights of hope in the shadows. Honor-driven. Leaders. Warriors. The Protectors of Humanity. Deeply intertwined in the history of the Last City. What happens when one is reborn and becomes one of the few able to wield the flame of hope as his own, to burn off the shackles of darkness that have been crushing humanity's will and hope to dust, What happens when he experiences so much tragedy, so much pain, that he delves into the shadows? What happens, when he finally snaps? And what happens to his loved ones when they are forced to put him down? And what will his Legend become, if he himself threatens the safety of the Last City. --------------- Thanks go out to the wonderful girl that most would know as @ShadowPine for the Cover art. Thanks Kobi!!!!Complete

Legends Never Die
"You're not brave, you've merely forgotten the fear of death...Allow me to reacquaint you." The words wouldn't leave her head... Ghaul's mocking tone, the way he looked down at her like she was nothing but an ant beneath his boot with his eyes narrowed and stance radiating a smug triumph that made the Young Wolf grit her teeth and clench her jaw even days after the fact. His words though wasn't what caused her anger, even if they did send a pang of, something through her body. She ignored that (like she always did) and focused on the matter at hand for now, (for her feelings didn't matter; they never would.) Ghaul had invaded her home, the home of her people and captured the Traveler right from under their noses. He slaughtered her people, killed all who hadn't evacuated and he not once cared for the amount of innocent lives he took. The blood of men, women and children who just wanted to live in peace... He had killed all who stood in his way, and The Guardian hadn't been able to stop him from doing so... She had failed...she was right there before him and had fallen down on her knees, too exhausted to get back up and fight without her Light. (She was Weak...a failure...a coward...) The Titan could still feel the phantom pain coursing through her body in the aftermath of the attack, when she had woken up barely alive without her powers back in the city but now, sitting around her small camp as she finally took a break after days of walking that did nothing but fuel her anger. She'd find a way to stop the Red Legion, find a way to kill Ghaul with or without the Light even if it was the last thing she did. -OR: The Red War begins; The Young Wolf is pissed, never before has she failed like this, failed to protect her people but the Guardian is willing to do whatever it takes to make things right, even at the expense of her own health.Complete
Nova
This is a story about my Destiny 2 character Nova. As a new Guardian, learning from others and from her mentor Storm. A lot of the characters will be from my friends :D There will probably be a lot of spelling or grammar mistakes. I have dyxlesia and try my hardest to make sure it does not come out too much. But I am human and miss stuff. Sue me lol
I love you ( Cayde-6 X Reader )
The reader is a female hunter. But not just a hunter, she is The hunter, The guardian. She is the one who had killed Crota, she is the one who had stopped The Taken King and the one who has won Ghaul. She is also the first fuardian who managed to wield light and dark. With Stasis help she had slayed Eramis and her Dark Council. Everything has its repercussions. She has friends, true friends, caring friends, she really cares about them all. But someone distinguishes. She loves him and cares about him but more than the others. She wants him. But she is afraid of telling him. So many other girls like him. No need to mention that he is her boss, her vanguard. The vanguard hunter, Cayde-6.

The Boot Shiner (Destiny x Male Reader)
(Destiny 1&2 Fireteam OCs x Male Reader Story) DISCLAIMER: If you have not read my Multiverse Destiny story, I recommend just the first couple of chapters to get context whenever that Y/N is mentioned on my character sheet or in the story. In a universe fraught with relentless battles and unyielding darkness taking different shapes, Mox Cuhn, Serenity-1, and Chase Hamley stand together as Fireteam Phantom. These fierce guardians, bound by their duty to protect humanity, find an unexpected connection with a humble guardian outfitter named Y/N L/N. Though NOT a guardian, Y/N crafts and enhances gear with unwavering dedication, dazzling flair, and unrivaled beauty. All taught to him by Eva Levante, an elder who is responsible for all the wonderful techniques he uses now. However, Y/N has a problem of his own, a fight against his own darkness if you will, whilst intertwining with these Guardians in ways he never imagined. Y/N has been battling with cancer, incurable under most circumstances, and is now reaching his final shape. The fireteam of guardians and Y/N eventually discover that even in the face of death, love and friendship can blossom. This tale explores the power of what a connection can do in face of inevitable loss. WARNING: This story is mature, expect mature things. Also, lore and things are bound to be wrong. Welcome to fanfic, touch grass with me. Before you try and act smart or leave correction comments that don't benefit the story, now you know.Complete
