I can’t believe it took me until the second time through the audiobook to realize that Terciel made a fucking dad joke when Sabriel came to his rescue
I’M SO MAD
“Why wasn’t I brought up here so that I would know things?”
“Here? In Death?”
I don’t even care if this isn’t the proper interpretation IT’S A FUCKING DAD JOKE
MULTIPLE GENERATIONS OF A WHOLE GODDAMN FAMILY OF DORKS
Aaand next gen: mom jokes
“Your father is angry with me because he thinks I almost got myself killed. I don’t understand it myself, since I think he should be glad that
I didn’t.”*pauses for laughter*
*doesn’t understand why nobody’s laughing*
Abhorsen family humour: joking in Death or (probably and, let’s be real) joking about death.

Tag: Abhorsen series
Made up fic title: where the dead sleep
Time for the Avatar/Old Kingdom fusion literally nobody asked for!
Katara is a Clayr who has just been called by the Watch for the first time. Her brother Sokka, not only is a boy, unusual for the Clayr, but he is sixteen and still no visions. He does have an extraordinary talent for making magical things though. Meanwhile they stumble onto Hama, a Clayr who survived being dragged into death, and years later, even managed to escape, alive. She warns them of a great and terrible evil Greater Dead creature named Ozai, who is the one who made the Old Kingdom into the horrible haven for the Dead and free magic that it has been for the last hundred years. Katara and her brother set out to find the lost heir to the throne and the Abhorsen, in hopes of saving their home, but is Hama all that she seems?
“The reservoir seemed colder without the sun. Sabriel felt the cold now, accompanied by the sudden, irrational fear that they had stayed too long in the water…”
Decided to update this to better reflect both the character and the moment
