A Big Black Sky Ao3 Novels & Stories

With each passing moment, our victory seemed less like a distant dream and more like an inevitable conclusion written in the stars. The Black Faes may have been borne of ancient vengeance, but we were the embodiment of defiance. And in this moment, beneath a sky torn asunder by the clash of light and dark, we were unyielding. The earth trembled beneath my paws, the air thick with the scent of magic and malice. With each strike, I felt the ferocity of the Black Faes, their eerie forms weaving through the chaos like phantoms in a violent dance. Their eyes glowed with a sinister light, the darkness around them pulsing with their hatred.

For a brief, horrifying second— The sky went completely black. No stars. No light. Nothing. And in that void… Something moved. Aria’s eyes snapped to the window. Her entire body went rigid. “Did you see that?” Kael asked. “Yes.” Her voice was barely audible. A whisper of dread. “It’s here.” Far beyond the palace walls… Beyond the forests. Beyond the territories. In a place untouched by time— Something ancient stirred. Not awakened. Not fully. But aware. A presence older than the Moon itself.

"The sky doesn't care about your pride, Aichonne. If you fall, you die. I will not have you dying because you’re too stubborn to accept the only safety left to you." The sky-mount, a gargantuan beast of corded muscle and iridescent, shifting scales, senses our friction. It shrieks, a sound that shreds the low-hanging clouds, and snaps its massive, leathery wings wide. The force of the take-off is a violent, stomach-turning lurch that defies gravity, slamming us against the seat. Aichonne has no choice. The gale-force winds hammer against us, a physical wall that would peel a lesser creature from the saddle. She is forced to abandon her rigid, defiant posture, her slender arms snapping around

Date = 8 August Place = San Francisco (Black Pit) POV - Aria The kitchen hums with low chatter and clattering pans — right up until Sky lifts her hand to her mouth and goes perfectly still. Her eyes lock on the doorway, and the warmth in the room drains like someone cracked a thermostat to freezing. “Fock,” she breathes. A shadow fills the entrance. “I fucking told you to stay in bed and rest,” a deep voice growls. My shoulders jump. My spine snaps straight. Sky just smirks at the storm walking straight toward her, slow and wicked, like she’s been waiting for this exact moment.

The black gate behind it destabilizes violently. Cracks race up its surface. Dylan’s presence floods back into mine— But altered. Deeper. Not a merger. Not two. Not one. Something layered. Something the Custodian did not model. The Arctic sky tears open. And through the collapsing gate— Hundreds of obsidian silhouettes begin stepping through.

Leonard Grey didn't speak, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards Cowell’s, mansion. Arielle was probably really tired, and quickly fell asleep. Arielle didn't know how long she had slept. Anyway, what she saw was a starry sky. The black sky is like black satin, and the stars and moon are dotted with black satin. It is a bit mysterious and beautiful. Arielle has a feeling that she doesn't know what this evening is...

My breath pants from my lips as the wind and darkness rips around us. We only travel for a few terrifying moments before my feet hit hard against stone and light returns to the world, however dim. I groan in horror at what I see – at the black sky that stretches for miles in all directions over the black marble terrace on which I stand. A sky lit purple at the horizon, with not a single star in the heavens. But three moons hang low and heavy in the darkness – one round and huge and orange, the others smaller but equally bleak.

The sky shattered. Not metaphorically. Actually shattered. A deafening crack ripped across the heavens above the floating city, splitting the air like glass under immense pressure. The fractures that had been spreading moments before suddenly burst open into a massive tear. Beyond it Nothing. No stars. No light. Only endless black. The witches staggered back in terror. “That… that’s not darkness,” one whispered. Seraphine felt it too. It wasn’t the absence of light. It was the absence of existence.

Gods. A pair of gryphons soar overhead, their bondeds laughing as they dive through the clouds. Direwolves and their humans moving in perfect sychronizon. One particulary unimpressed frost lynx lounges across a tree branch, glaring down at everyone beneath it like they are personally offending its existence. Further in the distance, Ironclad dragons train with their bondeds, bronze scales glimmering beneath the rising sun. Terrifying, but majestic. For a few silent moments, I simply watch. Because despite all else, I still love them. I always have, even though Aetherion Academy was not supposed to be my future.

Though its cold burning scorched my skin I said nothing, driving along that endless country road, while he mumbled words which flowed from his lips with an odd, foreign lilt sounding intimate and familiar, strange and alien all at once. And the night sky. It burned with black stars. I know this probably doesn’t make sense. How can you see black stars against the blackness of night? Of course, a night sky is never completely black. It’s a dimness lit by faint, ambient light. Against this burned great stars of utter blackness. Gazing at them made my blood freeze. The road ended abruptly at a wide lake. Its glass surface shimmered under the black moonlight as yellow, misshapen things frothed in
