Epic Solemnity

I really, really love this slow, sultry song. The lyrics are perfect:

King and queen of gritty face and pretty things
You say how you need me, you believe that I

I can change your life
So wrong, so right
But I tell myself this
Won’t ever die, alright, so
Love me like a god
Love me, love me like a god
Fuck me like a God
Love me
Whiskey on ice
Got me feeling so nice

I especially love the part about “you say how you need me, you believe that I – I can change your life”. Mmm, yes. Perfect Agni & Ezra ;-) Thanks for sharing, Anon, and thank you for your kind words 🤍🤍🤍

Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so happy you enjoyed the revisions. 🤍🤍

And what a great observation you have made! You are 100% correct. The Cold is exclusive to Raya in these revisions. It is not a Reaper ability. Agni first assumed his ice abilities were attributed to being a child born to a fire and water Elemental. A mortal ability (like his immunity). When Ezra continued to grow stronger with these powers, however, Agni became more suspicious that they were not a trait of his mortal host but instead connected to his god-like powers. And as we’ve learned, powers like these are only possible if a god is a major deity. It’s why he was so upset with Yamuna at the end of Part II. He realized that Ezra was not a minor god as she’d alluded to 😊

You can’t be more right– as we know, Ezra has quite a bit ahead of him. :( Thank you, Dreamer, your message is much appreciated 🤍

How very interesting! While the tale of Rahu is familiar (thanks to Surya and Chandra for ratting him out), I hadn’t realized that his blood brought about the garlic plant on earth and that orthodox Jains and Hindus don’t consume onion/garlic because of this. It’s crazy how expansive the Hindu religion is. Every time I dive into it, I come away learning something new.

Thanks so much for sharing! 🤍

Aww, thank you so much, Tomriidle 🤍 That means a lot! Some of the changes were incredibly small, so only those who’d read Part I several times before probably would have noticed all of them 😆These revisions needed to hit the balance between staying true to the characters we all fell in love with while fixing/strengthening areas that needed better attention—so I’m glad you enjoyed :D

Thanks so much for the message!

Thanks so much, dreamer! I’m glad you’re enjoying the revised versions. Knowing what we all know now, it was fun to drop in more scenes/hints/dialogue of what’s to come further down the road. It (hopefully) makes rereading things a bit more entertaining. Hopefully, you’re still able to enjoy your holiday, and you’re not ignoring the poor soul with you too much 😉 Thanks for the message! 🤍

No. It’s not.

I would also argue that the revised Parts I & II are not way less explicit than the originals. You went from one explicit smut scene in about 340,000 words to ½ of a smut scene in 323,000 words. Part III & Part IV are where things got more explicit. That being said, however, all existing readers know Immunity isn’t the best series to read if you’re looking for heavy smut 😅

Thank you for your sweet message, Anon 🤍 As I told a few others, I’m just happy to give Ezra the story he deserves. It’s fun to go back and fix the stuff that has always bothered me.

Two down, three more to go!

Reading? What’s that? 😉 I honestly wish I could answer this with a ton of recommendations, but the cruel truth is that I haven’t read for leisure in such a long time. Immunity—no—Triloka and other “adulting” things take up the majority of my free time.

I’ve been slowly chipping away at “Welcome to Dunder Mifflin, The Ultimate Oral History of the Office”. Other than that, nothing (aside from the occasional peruse to see if there are any new Slade Wilson & Dick Grayson stories uploaded to AO3). In the past, I have recommended The Silvan Series by R K Lander (I still haven’t read the last book that came out). Fantastic fantasy/elvish series. Fantastic author. And the obvious that everyone on this platform has already read: Heaven Official’s Blessing. I’m always open for recommendations from others, cuz one day I’ll actually be done with Triloka and I’m going to hibernate for a long while to catch up on all the things I’ve missed.

Anonymous asked: Hey Epic!!! Just finished Triloka Part II and wowza! Great writing as always, and I’m so glad to see you published. Was both taken aback and interested when I saw the [spoiler]

I realise this is a very greedy ask considering you just published, but uhhh…Part 3 anytime soon? I’m dying to see agni and ezra 😭🙈

Heya, Anon. Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it!! I had to block out the spoiler, as it is still quite early 😉 But yes, the [spoiler] is a prime example of Ezra’s less-than-desirable coping mechanisms. We were told about them in the original version, but with the revision, I wanted to demonstrate it.

Part III: Imminent has a tentative release date of Spring 2024. I say tentative because it’s definitely too soon to tell. I don’t know how many changes will occur, but more to come on all that 🤍
