Alluvium - Uprooted from Sarkan's POV by AWizardWithoutHerStaff
Fandom: Uprooted - Naomi Novik
04 Oct 2020
Summary
I held onto her arm as I led her down to kitchen, unwilling to let go in case she flung herself at my back and made another attempt on my life. What a fine joke that would be: Sarkan, the Dragon, greatest wizard of Polnya, killed on his stairs by a witless peasant. Maybe the Wood would laugh itself into oblivion.
This is a rewrite of 'Uprooted' by Naomi Novik, written from the Dragon's point of view.
It follows the chapters of the book very closely, just retelling the story from his POV. If you enjoy a cranky wizard, or want to hear Sarkan's cutting internal remarks about the state of Agnieszka, then this fic is for you.This frankly insane project has come out of the Covid-19 pandemic, where we all need something fun to keep us going during these times. Made with all my love for Naomi Novik and her wonderful book.

Summary
I reached the girl who had stared at me with such fire and loathing not a moment before, cupping her chin in my hand and jerking her face up to meet mine. I almost felt her magic then, but I didn’t realise it, too preoccupied with the filth of her dress and the mess of her hair.
This is a fun rewrite of 'Uprooted' by Naomi Novik, from the point of view of our most prickly and sarcastic of Dragons, Sarkan.
It follows the book very closely and it will spoil stuff from the story. Really, it's just a fun exercise in point of view and characterisation.This is Chapter 1 - a mirror of the actual Chapter 1 of Uprooted. The story and dialogue belong to Naomi Novik.
I have no idea what will come of this or how much I will do, but I intend to do more of it the book for as long as it's still fun.

Summary
This is a continuation of Alluvium - a retelling of Naomi Novik's Uprooted from the Dragon's perspective. The first nine chapters were completed by AWizardWithoutHerStaff, who has graciously allowed me to carry on the story with her premise.
So: you will first need to have read Uprooted. Then you will need to have read Alluvium for chapters 1-9, because we're picking things up right off the bat with Chapter 10
*(If you're here for smut: see Ch 16: Chapter 27 - Part One)

Summary
She is actually doing quite well for a time displaced young woman who has just finished a century-long battle with demon, and whose admittedly-few friends are all long dead, and who hasn't used her vocal chords or seen the sun in a hundred years.
(Intimidating word count, but it’s 4 manageable arcs.)

Summary
"Bilbo never bothers denying that he is a slight, little bit, probably infatuated with Thorin. It’s not something that bothers him. Really. He’s pretty sure that everyone very likely has a little flutter in their chest for the dwarf. He’s something grand and unattainable.
And it’s really much safer if it stays that way."
