Fandom: Echoes of the Fall - Adrian Tchaikovsky

Summary: After the war with the Plague people, the most difficult task is to maintain peace among the peoples of the Crown of the World. When the bones of a Champion are found, who will wear this shape of power?

Fun post-canon fic with a reunion of my favorites and cool worldbuilding about Champions :D

I've been reading a lot and making notes of stories to rec, but now that I finished my Yuletide fic I suddenly want to write something else again, and maaybe if I try I could finally manage to finish a line for [community profile] hc_bingo? We'll see how long the motivation lasts.

Hi! Thank you very much for writing a story for me! :D

Things I like:
* I love friendship/team/found family fic. Characters who grow to like each other, trust each other, and eventually would do many things for each other, yes please. Especially when they started out enemies/opponents/are in slightly different positions/places/there are obstacles etc.
* I'm a big fan of loyalty, betrayal, sacrifice, and related tropes.
* Canon-divergent AUs and time travel stories are great.
* Hurt/comfort in its many variations is wonderful. The focus can be on either but I like it best if there's a little bit of both.
* Some other things I love: competent characters, plot, happy (or at least optimistic) endings, hugs…

Things I don't like for Yuletide:
* Stories with a very dark or hopeless ending
* Explicit rape or abuse
* Character bashing
* Stories focusing on harlequin romance tropes, or PWP without character development
* Different world AUs, like coffeeshop AUs or Harry Potter fusions. I love the canon worlds of all these fandoms so I'd prefer to read fic taking place there.

Have fun! The prompts below are guidelines, I hope they help you think of ideas.


Inheritance Trilogy – N. K. Jemisin )


Bloodrights – N. Lee Wood )


Echoes of the Fall – Adrian Tchaikovsky )

I just finished "The Hyena and the Hawk", the third book of the Echoes of the Fall trilogy by Adrian Tchaikovsky, and I have a lot of thoughts jumbling around in my head. Which is a good sign! But if I wait for them to settle down I'll forget to write about it so here.

Briefly: I enjoyed it a lot. I loved the characters and their relationships, the worldbuilding was cool, and the plot was exciting. There were just a few elements I wasn't sure about, mostly about the colonization narrative.

Maniye and Hesprec )

Asman|der and Venat )

Loud Thunder and Broken Axe and Shyri and more )

Worldbuilding )

The villains )

Colonization )
I'm curious what others think about this aspect in particular.

Soo I'm pretty sure I'll think of stuff I forgot later but anyway. I'm planning to request it for Yuletide (but my "nominate for Yuletide" list is already pretty long this year and it's February, so I'll see what happens until September.)
