Cyan text on black background that reads, "He set up a tough fight against/ Their Final Enemy:/ Low health, no spells, roll to attack—/ A Natural Twenty." Below and to the right in purple is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in pink is "ShadowsTober25 Day 31: Last Stand".

#ShadowsTober25 Day 31: Last Stand - This year kicked my ass, but I also wanted to challenge myself. Thank you @melraspberry.bsky.social for these prompts and Alpha Aniki for creating #ShadowsOverWelde ; plus the players, Nate the producer, and the fandom for making this community awesome. #poetry

White text on a blue background that reads, "I had already seen so much –/ But what I never knew –/ Despite my years of study – was/ That angels could die too." Below and to the right in dark grey is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in yellow cursive is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 30: Angel"

#ShadowsTober25 Day 30: Angel - I got fixated on the last line (sometimes I write #poetry starting with the end), but then I couldn't figure out where to go or who is speaking. I imagine this is Beak or Argentum or even a random Rider of Kof. #ShadowsOverWelde #quatrain

Purple text on lime green background that reads, "One Memory is all I ask –/ But more I will consume:/ Your Kin – your Friends – your Love and Hate –/ The Bonds defining you." Below and to the right in brown caps text is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in dark grey is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 29: Relationships".

#ShadowsTober25 Day 28: Favorite NPC - Some free verse #poetry for Petori Cull, an NPC I'm kinda obsessed with whom I have yet to write about. SPOILERS FOR EP 26! #ShadowsOverWelde archiveofourown.org/works/716969...

Light grey text on a dark blue background that reads, "I steered a ship through clouds of Dark –/ While Heroes fought the Dead –/ My Hands – unsteady and unsure –/ The Divine must have led." Below and to the right in purple is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in lime green is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 27: Darkness"

#ShadowsTober25 Day 27: Darkness - I was a little stumped on this prompt, but then I had the image of D.W. steering the ship while Phoenix had Darkness up. #poetry #ShadowsOverWelde #quatrain

Dark red text on orange background that reads, "Small interlopers, I am not/ That easy to outwit!/ Next time, I'll make my strike before/ You get another hit—//This tenuous alliance formed/ By threads of chance is all/ You have— The secrets harbored by/ Each will be your downfall!" Below and to the right in dark grey is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in blue cursive is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 26: Secrets"

#ShadowsTober25 Day 26: Secrets - Vhaeraun's bitch ass demanded 2 stanzas, maybe as vengeance for me bringing up his failed attempt to psychologically screw with Argentum and Zephrael. #ShadowsOverWelde #poetry #quatrain

Yellow text on brown background that reads, "My love demanded Cruelty/ and Bloodshed for a kiss –/ Though now – I choose another Path –/ Her Poison – do I miss." Below and to the right in grey cursive is "–Jeniverse Writings", and at the bottom in green is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 25: Poison"

#ShadowsTober25 Day 25: Poison - #ShadowsOverWelde introduced me to my favorite DnD monster, the yochlol, and I've been dying to write about Elandra's former love. #poetry #quatrain

Yellow text on a red background that reads, "These mortals, small yet insolent–/ Some did not even kneel–/ On their own parley, they reneged–/ I'll crush them with my heel!" Below and to the right in pink is "–Jeniverse Writings", and at the bottom in black is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 24: Devil"

#ShadowsTober25 Day 24: Devil - Nine Flame has entered the chat. :p #poetry #ShadowsOverWelde

Orange text on a purple background that reads, "Chance meeting – bloody choices made –/ Now sorrows flood his Path./ Although the outer Scar is healed –/ His Heart still bears the scathe." Below and to the right in black cursive is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in aqua text is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 23: Scars"

#ShadowsTober25 Day 23: Scars - Looking at my haikus for Varick last year compared to where he is now really informed this poem. Also I learned that "scathe" can be a noun though it's more archaic. #ShadowsOverWelde #poetry #quatrain

Shadows Over October 2025 - Chapter 22 - Li_flower - Shadows Over Welde (Web Series) [Archive of Our Own] An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

#ShadowsTober25 Day 22: Tattoos - This happens during the tattoo scene so it counts, right? I just really wanted to write a #fanfic of Silent Beak, Phoenix, and Sunder getting up to a silly adventure. #ShadowsOverWelde archiveofourown.org/works/716969...

Black text on gold background that reads, "While I did carry you astride,/ Our fearsome foes you cleaved—/ I would have joined you to the end—/ Now rider-less, I leave—". Below and to the right in brown text is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in bold blue text is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 21: Animal Companion".

#ShadowsTober25 Day 21: Animal Companion - Sorry not sorry for all the sad #poetry , but I wanted some Penelope representation. #ShadowsOverWelde

Dark grey text on a pink background that reads, "His Love no longer by his side —/ Yet onward — misty-eyed —/ To save their City — he does stride —/ New Allies he will guide —". Below and to the right in brown text is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in blue cursive is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 20: Heart"

#ShadowsTober25 Day 20: Heart - Back to the sad poems! I originally wanted to do Kelly for Absence but decided to save him for this one. #ShadowsOverWelde #poetry #quatrain

Light yellow text on green background that reads, "I tired of Blank pages and/ The Silence – overwhelms –/ To get my Half back – I will go/ Down to the Seven Hells – ". Below and to the right in orange cursive is " –Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in black cursive is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 19: Argentum".

#ShadowsTober25 Day 19: Argentum - Since last year's haiku was about their loss, I decided to make this year's #quatrain about them fighting back. I've been thinking about their desperation. (I'm not totally in love with this so it's the best I got right now.) #ShadowsOverWelde #poetry

Light yellow text on dark red background that reads, "I'm forced to slumber underneath/ This fortress made of stone—/ But foolish wizard, once I wake,/ You'll reap what you have sown!" Below and to the right in light green text is "—Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in light grey all caps is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 18: Castle"

#ShadowsTober25 Day 18: Castle - Episode 24 spoilers!

I decided to write as Acervax and it wound up being very similar to the Lolth #quatrain . #ShadowsOverWelde #poetry

Dark red text on a cyan background that reads "I have never seen Celestials —/ 'Til the day Yvbranka fell/ To the Driders — many which the/ Deva's brilliance did kill —". Below and to the right in blue text is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in light brown text is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 17: Divinity".

#ShadowsTober25 Day 17: Divinity - I decided to write from the POV of an ordinary NPC witnessing ep 15 (spoilers!) and reference "I have never seen 'Volcanoes'" by Emily Dickinson. This could probably use a couple more stanzas, but another time... #ShadowsOverWelde #poetry #quatrain

Black text on purple background that reads, "I can remember Pain from when/ They threw me out from Home –/ A Friend now lost – Another fades –/ I walk this Path alone –". Below and to the right in pink cursive font is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in cyan calligraphy is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 16: Zephrael"

#ShadowsTober25 Day 16: Zephrael - I struggle with writing Rae and I wanted to continue the series of sad poems so it took some work to get a #quatrain I was okay with. #ShadowsOverWelde #poetry

Cyan text on dark grey background that reads "New friends, I'll always treasure these new bonds/ We've forged. But now I hear the quiet knell/ Of rest I've craved in so far beyond./ It's time to go—I'm sorry, Zephrael." Below and to the right in orange text is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in light grey text is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 15: The Wall"

#ShadowsTober25 Day 15: The Wall - Spoilers for ep 25!

We're in the sad portion of this challenge. Changing up my #quatrain form to heroic/elegiac stanza since that seemed fitting. #ShadowsOverWelde #poetry

Blue text on light orange background that reads, "The promise of Adventures great –/ In this strange Land we roam/ Allows my Spirit to stay –/ But still I miss my Home –". Below and to the right in dark grey cursive is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in dark red text is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 14: Absence"

#ShadowsTober25 Day 14: Absence - Slight spoilers for #ShadowsOverWelde ep 16.
Since CharlieFis did Argentum and Vale did The Wall for this prompt, I challenged myself to find a different character and occasion... and landed on Tybalt. Sorry not sorry. #poetry #quatrain

White text on a green background that reads, "A silenced Voice – two shackled Wings –/ One day again, I'll fly/ When Vengeance is wrought. 'Til then –/ Hera my Discordant Cries!" Below and to the right in cursive teal font is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in yellow text is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 13: Silent Beak"

#ShadowsTober25 Day 13: Silent Beak - It's just quatrains from now on, as I try to get caught up (I say this now, but we know how much I like to mix things up). I feel like I should write more Beakie. #ShadowsOverWelde #poetry

Shadows Over October 2025 - Chapter 12 - Li_flower - Shadows Over Welde (Web Series) [Archive of Our Own] An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

#ShadowsTober25 Day 12: SOWOC - This #fanfic is why I'm behind. I wanted to pay homage to the Discord and include as many people's OCs as possible while also alluding to the Portland Frog b/c my OC is a frog-like humanoid fighting injustices #ShadowsOverWelde archiveofourown.org/works/716969...

White text on a blue background that reads "I am the One – remaining here/ Whenever Death stops by –/ In me – they’ll find a Second Life –/ But Who really am I?" Below and to the right in black text is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in yellow cursive text is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 11: Phoenix".

#ShadowsTober25 Day 11: Phoenix - I spent too long on this so that I could reference "Because I could not stop for Death". Spoilers for ep 26 and (accidentally on purpose) ep 38. #poetry #ShadowsOverWelde #EmilyDickinson #quatrain

Shadows Over October 2025 - Chapter 10 - Li_flower - Shadows Over Welde (Web Series) [Archive of Our Own] An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

#ShadowsTober25 Day 10: Alternate Universe - This wound up being tricky to write, but I wanted to return to CSI: Yvbranka AU and toss in a bit of a Leverage-inspired reimagining of a certain character. SPOILERS for ep 26 #ShadowsOverWelde #fanfic archiveofourown.org/works/716969...

Blue text on pale yellow background that reads, "A Weapon delicate and soft –/ A Mind so sharp and deft –/ The Writer wounds within and out –/ Their Patience, do not test!". Below and to the right in dark red text is "–Jeniverse Writings" and at the bottom in green cursive text is "ShadowsTober 2025 Day 9: Weapon".

#ShadowsTober25 Day 9: Weapon - The pen is mightier than the sword. 😉 Because the #ShadowsOverWelde fandom is international and English can be confusing as hell, I feel the need to clarify that I mean "wounds" like "inflicts injury". #poetry #quatrain

Shadows Over October 2025 - Chapter 8 - Li_flower - Shadows Over Welde (Web Series) [Archive of Our Own] An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

#ShadowsTober25 Day 8: Chain - Who was expecting a band AU #fanfic reimagining Zephrael, Bryant, and Esrael as Fleetwood Mac? Who is old enough to get the reference?😅I chased this wacky though and now we're here. #ShadowsOverWelde archiveofourown.org/works/716969...

#ShadowsTober25 Day 5: Lolth - I was intentionally less Dickinsonian here since I wanted this to have a more fairy tale vibe (still common/ballad meter). #poetry #quatrain #ShadowsOverWelde

#ShadowsTober25 Day 4: Sunder - This one is for the Sunnix shippers because our blue boy deserves something nice. Based on a moment in ep 31 so slight spoilers for reveals before that. #ShadowsOverWelde #fanfic #ShadowsTober archiveofourown.org/works/716969...
