Ain't the praying type

Summary:

This is a softer retelling of Legends of Avantris' series 'Curse of Strahdanya' of course with a retelling there are twists and variations. But at the end of the day this is a love letter to the original series, seeking to retell it with a softer end[and a slowburn romance]

But more so this is to the Avantris crew and the amazing fandom they have grown and carefully collected, thank you for rekindling my joy of writing and I hope you enjoy the first of many chapters in: 'Ain't the praying type'

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Chapter 1: Writers note

Chapter Text

A short note from the writer
Hello! I am Leafy, or Leafy Elfy on discord as with most of my socials!

This is ‘aint the praying type’ a slow burn Shepnax fic because there was NOT enough of them and I am a stubborn man filled with spite to give these two a happy story.

But a few notes first [more to come as the series adjusts I’m sure]

 

-While this series is heavily canon compliant there are a few headcanons I am squeaking in, some that are alluded to during their Avantris and chill streams/between player chat. And a few that follow the races specifically, then even a few more recommended from the community itself.
-I am only one man writing this whole series, and while I DO enjoy writing and plan on making this a big project. I am disabled and sometimes lack spoons so please be patient
-Do not take the ‘canon typical violence’ tag lightly. I am doing research into the effects of spells and what they’d do if they theoretically did the physical damage, not even to imagine how horrifying Sarnax’s healing is with him actively burning a character to heal them. It will not be pretty. This is a gentle warning if you are squeamish, for any larger things past Sarnax’s healing will have a gentle warning before hand
-If you are new to this series but still wanting to read the series I have great news! There are no spoilers as long as you don’t read past your ep chapter. [I will even make a note on top of the chapter as to what episode it is to be sure you don’t forget]

I plan to delve deeper into characters' emotional states and subtle team bonding/ filling in blank spaces that had to be cleaned up for the sake of brevity in their campaign. Luckily for a book that has no word/time limit. I can fill it in as much as I so wish.

This fic is meant for mature audiences, and should not be taken lightly.

With the warnings out of the way[even if you skimmed over them seeing it was just a notes chapter] I hope you enjoy the chapters to come to this book. Goodluck Traveler ●ᴥ●
