Hidden: Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Always and Forever

(Eve)

Eve or Natasha was staring at the amber liquid drink in her mug. She had been into deep sorrow of heartbreak. Ever since he left, she hasn’t left the room. Today, it was my first time being out of the room since that day. Natasha couldn’t tell what day it was. To her, it felt like years had passed by. Maybe this was for the best. They both are generations apart. She’s from the future and Eren is from here. What business does she have here anyways? The grey eyed woman should focus on trying to get back her timeline before encountering her grandmother or grandfather. Shit, if grandpa Levi finds out, she’ll get a beating in their spars.

Eve took a sipped from her mug. She sighed then pulled out some change to pay the ale. The Ackerman from the future couldn’t enjoy her beer. Once she paid, the woman started to walk away to who knows where.

Her life before ending up in the past was basically what the life of an New Yorker heiress was. There were parties, going to the best prestigious private schools, and of course any high class social events. It was every debutante’s dream. She never liked it but it was her medicine in dealing with her ill grandmother and her PTSD.

Natasha remembered that tragic day when she lost her mother and baby brother. Her father had died a year before their death. He was an assassin like their ancestors were before. When she was a little girl, Eve had wanted to follow her father’s footsteps including her grandfather’s, but they never allowed. It had frustrated her. Both her grandparents had told her to just be a normal girl with careless dreams and living life to the fullest. Whenever she had visited Paradis during her vacations, there were many arguments between her and grandpa Levi and grandma Historia. They see things way differently than her. At first, she doesn’t get why they are preventing her from choosing the path she wanted to take.

The last time she saw them, a huge fight had led their relationship delicately.

(Flashback)

It was a normal evening in the palace. She was spending time with her grandparents and her aunts and uncle along with her younger cousins. Everyone was enjoying their meal. Usually the kitchen staff cooked their meals, but tonight her grandmother Queen Historia decided to cook. At one time, the staff gave up in preventing her grandmother from doing anything, especially cooking.

“Natasha, I’m so happy that you decided to make time to visit us from your studies at the University.” Her grandmother, Historia began to speak.

The young woman glanced up at her grandmother. Queen Historia was in her late 50’s about to reach her 60’s soon. Her grandma still has her angelic beauty that she was known for as her age hasn’t ruined her beauty. Her blonde hair shined with some silver strands but she was still a goddess, well in the eye’s of the public.

“Well, I need to be away from the city life in NYC for a while.” The American sipped her wine. She heard a familiar scoff from the head of the table on the right. Her grandfather, the once famous Captain Levi Ackerman of the Survey Corps and Assassin Master of the Brotherhood Paradis stared at her. Natasha frowned then set her glass of wine with a bit of force.

“Ok, what now, grandpa?” Her tone sounded annoyed from her own grandfather’s attitude.

“I’m not stupid for the real reason you decide to come to visit all of the sudden.” Levi glared at her oldest granddaughter. Oh great, here we go again. The college student rolled her eyes at him since she knows where this is going.

“Praise tell oh dear grandfather.” Her sarcastic tone was showing. Now, the rest of the family groaned as they knew there would be a fight between Levi and Natasha.

Historia sighed but continued sipping her wine. Levi was now in his 70s. His face had aged well even though he had scars on his face during the war.His once raven hair was now grey. No matter how he looked, Historia had and always will love her husband. They both had gone through so much that their bond was too solid to be broken. There were times in their marriage, both older couples did unthinkable things that would have caused their relationship to end. But their love story will be known for centuries.

“You came here not because of your studies. Instead, you’re here from another scandal you decided to get away from. You can lie to us, but your grandmother and I know what happened in New York.” Levi said in a stern tone which the atmosphere became heavy.

Before Natasha could say anything, her uncle interrupted the conversation.

“Dad, I don’t think it’s the best time right now. The children are here.” her uncle reminded Levi that the younger kids are here listening to this argument. Natasha adores her uncle since he was the most understanding out of his siblings. Her aunts are a bit too modesty. They always reminded her to be ladylike with modest manners. Do her wrong she loved all her family, but they always find something that’s not up to their standards. It just drives her so insane. The only reason she is still visiting them because they are the only thing close to her father, Atticus Ackerman the eldest child of her grandparents.

It’s not her fault that she was raised in a society that you can express freely to be who you are. But in her case, she can be a bit too wild even her grandma Virginia Stark nee Potts aka Pepper, the CEO of Stark Industries. In a way, her nana had once told her she was just like her grandfather, the late Tony Stark who she had never got to meet. What she learned about him. He was wild, eccentric, very intelligent that he had the tendencies of hacking into governments top projects to benefit his cases when he gets into trouble or just cause. After all, her being a smart mouth had always ended up into an argument with Levi as he’s the type not taking anyone’s bullshit even hers.

“Tch. We’ll have to cut this family dinner short. Natasha, you will meet me and your grandmother in my office in 10 minutes.” He said as his chair was pushed back to get up. He glanced at his wife who nodded at him and got up too. They walked out of the dining room. Now only her uncle, aunts, cousins were still here.

“Tsk tsk niece. If you would have acted a lady not a hussy-” Aunt Frieda Ackerman said. Uncle Erwin hissed at his older sister. “Frieda that’s enough! What’s got into?”

Frieda scoffed then got up and called her son who’s 10 years old to follow her. The little blonde child obediently goes after his mother. Meanwhile Natasha was looking at her meal from trying not to lose control and snapped at her auntie. Her other aunt had been too quiet. The good thing, she’s not too bad compared to her Aunt Frieda. Aunt Krista finally broke her silence.

“Sweetheart, she doesn’t mean that. She’s just worried about you.” Her blonde aunt was always the peacekeeper in the family. Her hand was on her huge belly as she’s not that long to be due. Her husband, Aaron Arlert, one of brightest soldiers in his generation and the son of the late Commander Armin Arlert of the Survey Corps and Master Assassin; his wife former Marley’s Warrior and Assassin Master who died long ago too. Both of them had passed on due to the Titan’s curse. Her auntie is excited for her first child.

“Are you sure? She seems so convinced I’m ruining our family’s reputation again. She needs to stop being so bitter around everyone just because of her marriage problems.” Natasha mumbled. Both her uncle and aunt gave a disappointing look as it was uncalled for her to bring up Frieda’s marriage issue with some high class dickhead who happens to be a Marleyan. Natasha believes her estranged uncle is only using her aunt because she’s a princess, the next heir to the throne. By law, it was supposed to be Natasha as she’s the only surviving child of the late crowned Prince Atticus. Since the government officials had passed a law to prevent her from taking the throne after her grandmother either abdicated the throne or passed away.

To be honest, she doesn’t want the throne. If she chooses between the throne or being the next CEO of Stark Industries then she’ll prefer being the next CEO. If there was a third choice it’s neither. The Eldian-American wanted to find her own path. She doesn’t like her future being planned for her. She’s a free-spirited woman, but to certain relatives apparently she’s a rebel brat.

“Natasha.” He scolded at his niece. Natasha sighed and got up from her chair. “Goodnight by the way if I don’t get to see you for the rest of the night.” Before leaving she goes to hug her twin cousins from her uncle who are around 7 years old. Both boys hugged her back and said goodnight as she finally walked out of the family dinning room.

The brunette walked through silent hallways which in her opinion it gave her the creeps sometimes. Some halls have guards on duty. The heiress just ignores them since her grandparents are probably waiting for her to scold. Ugh! She’s passed 18 and yet; they treat her like some misbehaving kid. Whatever had happened on the video was not what it seems. The media loves to fuck her over since she’s a royal and a Stark. They enjoyed milking out every ‘scandal’ she has been in.

The grey eyed heiress made it to the doors of grandpa’s office. The old man had been retired for a long time after the war. Seriously, why can he find some hobby instead of getting up on her case. She grabbed the handles to open the doors. Her grandparents are already sitting down while sipping their cup of tea.

“Tch. Finally, you were taking your time to get here.” Levi said as he set his cup of tea on the coffee table.

She rolled her eyes at his comment then went to sit on the couch to glance at both older couples. Her eyes landed on the already cold cup of tea for her to drink. The heiress doesn’t mind since it’s basically drinking iced tea without sweetening or added flavor. She waited for them to speak while sipping the cup.

Historia took a glimpse at Levi then back to her granddaughter. “Sweetheart, we’re worried for you. This is not just any light scandal you have been in. This scandal involved you and some man being taped while having sex. Of all the things, this I can’t tolerate anymore of your wild party life. You forget you’re a royal and a member of the Ackerman clan.”

The younger Ackerman wanted to scream from the frustration she felt. That tape was not how they think it happened. She didn’t know the guy was filming her. It's a crime for what that asshole did, but of course they don’t understand. Her grandparents are from different generations with different perspectives than hers.

Don’t they understand how this made her feel? On that morning, she was watching tv at her apartment eating cereal when the headlines started to show. She felt sick and betrayed. How could he do this to her? The guy, Darren, is nice and charming. She thought he was different. Nope, her taste in men is like a pattern of bad karma. Natasha had texted him but didn’t respond. When she decided to go to his place, he was busy entertaining some friends. Oh the rage in her came out. She made everyone leave and once it was just her and him; there were arguments and some plates thrown at him. Low key she could have given an old Ackerman ass kicking, but that would lead to getting arrested.

After the drama, she didn’t come out of her apartment due to paparazzi and noisy people. Her poor grandmother was expecting her to visit. It was too much to the point her PTSD returned. Her psychiatrist suggested she go to the safest place for her. So she packed up to spend some time with her paternal grandparents and prayed they would listen and understand her what she was going through. Sadly, none of those didn’t happen. Her other grandmother doesn’t know yet. She made sure it keeps it that way. The heiress doesn’t want her nana to get distress since her cancer has returned and is becoming worse. Now, all she hears was their rants as she zoned out from all these events had happened.

“Natasha? Natasha? Are you even listening?” Historia tried to get her granddaughter’s attention.

“Oi, brat. Answer your grandmother.” He used his infamous authoritative tone. The college girl snapped and glanced at both of them.

“You know, only Uncle Erwin had asked me how I was feeling. He listened to what really happened and didn’t judge me. Both of you, had not once asked me how I am feeling since the scandal was broken. I was hoping my family would be a bit understanding and listen to me because I would never sink myself to that. All I got here was I should be ashamed of myself or take responsibility. And guess what, I had been feeling ashamed and disgusted because the whole world saw me exposed and it was without my consent. If this conservation will lead to more scolding and family’s reputation then I’m done here.” She gets up to roughly palace the cup on the saucer then walks to the doors to open. The heiress slammed the doors.

Fuck everything here. If she can go somewhere to be safe and herself, then it will help her not to lose insanity. Natasha didn’t feel her tears were falling. The heiress kept going until she was outside in the royal private garden. The distressed girl sat on the bench to let the tears become sobs.

“Mom...Dad..if you were still alive, would you believe me? Would you understand me when I need it the most? I’m just tired of everything. I missed you both��” The brown haired woman whispered as her eyes stared up at the stars.

Natasha loved to be in the garden whenever she’s alone. It’s helped her clear her thoughts and calm her emotions. Right, in front of her a mini section of lavenders. It was her 16th birthday present. Its scent was soothing and relaxing. They’re one of her favorite flowers along marigold and winter roses. While enjoying the stars and the flowers, her phone rang. She pulled out from her pocket jeans and answered.

“Hey Stella, what’s wrong?” her tone instantly changed to concerning.

On the phone a woman who’s one of her friends and coworkers for S.H.I.E.L.D. “Hey Natasha, I know you’re on vacation but you need to come back. The Time machine had not been working.” Stella said on the phone.

“Have you tried rebooting or shutting down the machine?” Natasha said, trying to figure out the solution.

“Yes, I did it a few times. Also, I add fuel before doing anything. I need it to have it running by tomorrow.” Stella said with anxiousness.

“Just send me the data on my phone and I’ll check it out what’s the problem. If it’s something too serious, I’ll fly back to the Headquarters to fix it.” Already, browsing her phone to check the data that was being sent to her.

On her mother’s side, she got the brains, but on her father’s side the physique of a fighter. Growing up without alive parents had made her determined to learn to be prepared to protect herself and any loved ones that matter to her. The heiress had joined S.H.I.E.L.D around after high school. At first, she was stubborn to be part of the next generation of the Avengers until Director Maria Hill gave her old videos of her late grandfather, Tony Stark aka Ironman.

Beside being named after one of the original members, Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, also gave her another reason to join. Both of them had made sacrifices to save the planet and the population. The least she could do was to honor them and not to let their death be in vain.

After searching up to find any problem that was causing the machine not working, Natasha sighed and called back Stella.

“Hey Stella, it’s a bigger problem than we thought. I’ll catch a flight asap. I’ll see you later then.” Once the call was over, the woman got up to go back to the palace to pack up to leave

By the time she got to her room packing up, a knock was heard. “Come in.” She said.

Historia opened the door to enter then closed it. “Natasha...we owed you an apology.” The queen noticed her granddaughter packing up her things.

“Are you planning to go back home already?” She was concerned.

“Yeah, there’s an emergency that needs me.” the heiress sounded vague.

“Oh dear, is Pepper getting worse?” Historia frowned from being worried for the older woman.

“No and thank god it’s not that emergency. I just need to go.” The truth was only nana knew about Natasha being part of the Avengers. If her Eldian grandparents were aware, they would become overprotective and prevent her from joining. It’s best this remains a secret plus she’s a grown woman who can make decisions.

“Honey, if your leaving became the argument earlier, we are sorry. Please don’t leave. We’ll hear your side of the story in the morning.” The blonde queen pleaded with her only granddaughter to stay. Historia had missed her. They may have differences, but her love for her is big as the rest of the family. Her fear was seeing her granddaughter going into a dark path.

Natasha sighed as she finished packing. “It’s not a fight, grandma.”

“Then what is it?” She said as trying to understand Natasha. She has become very mysterious and distant towards everyone except her only remaining son and her youngest daughter, Kuchel who is taking an internship in Hizuru for political foreign affairs as her major. To the rest, Natasha shuts them out.

“It’s just work. A colleague of mine called me and said that they found some documents but it’s in some ancient language they haven't seen.” The heiress said.

“Can they send it to you through your phone or laptop?” Historia said.

“No, they are old and ancient so they’re fragile. I will have to look at them closer and decode into English.” The young woman hated lying to her grandmother. If she told her the truth, more drama would erupt and right now; the young Ackerman wasn’t in the mood for another drama.

Of course, Historia felt her granddaughter was not being honest to her, but she will let it slide. Maybe after she comes back, they will talk about it.

“Alright then. Do you need the driver to take you to the airport?” Historia offered her help.

“Yeah that would be appreciative. Thank you, grandma.” The dark haired woman said.

After she left the palace, Natasha arrived at the International airport. The heiress got through security measurements until she finally entered her terminal where the plane awaits for passengers. She goes find her seat number. As Natasha Ackerman took her seat, a man who was already seated by the window had taken a glance at her. The heiress was minding her own business until she saw the man staring at her.

“May I help you?” She said annoyingly. If this is some under covered paparazzi, she’ll throw him out of the window.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to stare at you.” He went back to reading his book.

The brunette also went back to reading but she took another quick glance at the man which by the way, he was hot. He probably has long hair since it was tied into a bun only a few strands of hair sticks out from the forehead. The one thing that caught her attention was his emerald green eyes.

For hours the flight was boring. Not once has that hot guy haven’t started a conversation. She probably made a bad impression. She made a yawning sound since dawn is about to rise soon. The heiress can take a couple hours nap before the plane arrives at her destination. Her eyes slowly closed as she fell asleep. While in a deep sleep, her head slowly leans to lay on the hot stranger’s shoulder. A light deep chuckle was heard along a few words.

“Always and forever, Eve.” Natasha doesn’t know whether it was a dream or not. The way it sounds had made her feel safe and sound. It was the best two hour nap she ever had. When she woke up, almost everyone was gone including the hot guy. She was about to get up, but the woman saw a winter rose on her lap. The heiress picked it up and smelled the rose. This strange man was mysterious and smooth. Whoever was this guy, he made her day.

(End flashback)

Eve had looked back from the events that lead to now. The time machine that she helped to make it work had glitched which sent her to this era. Luckily, it was in Paradis, but it was the time where this side of the world was going through a huge change that caused a huge war. She remembered World History about Eldian history along with those affected. What’s worse is that she encountered and fell in love with one of the notorious historical figures, Eren Jaeger. The brunette let out a frustrating scream then kicked the poor little rock on the ground.

“Damn you, Eren. Why did you have to walk into my life?” She sighed. How long had she been here? Weeks? Months? It felt like years and Eve just missed home where she can cuddle up in her bed while eating coffee flavor ice cream with oreos while watching some cheesy romantic movies on Netflix.

She saw a group of people with green caped hoods. The Ackerman from the future quickly hides within the trees. The heir decided to climb up to hide better. As she was about to grab the branch close to her reach, it snapped which she fell from the tree. Eve closed her eyes to wait for the hard fall. Instead, she opened her eyes to see a very familiar green eyes.

“Eve, you should be careful. These woods are dangerous. What are you doing here by the way?” Eren said while carrying her in bridal style.

The heiress realized Eren had caught her from falling. This feels awkward and painful. His hurtful words were still fresh on her mind. She glared at him then scoffed.

“I don’t need to explain myself to you so I would appreciate it if you would put me down.” She said with a cold tone.

Eren wasn’t amused with her coldness towards him. After all, he did leave things on bad terms. “Did you follow me? Damn you woman. You just can’t take a hint of rejection.”

Oh no. He did not just say that. Natasha’s pride begins to boil with rage. That asshole has some nerves.

“Excuse me? Like hell, I would follow you! Seriously, are you this much of a dick? You know what. I’m just gonna leave.” She humped, then turned around to leave. Eren stopped her by grabbing her arm.

“Hey, wait. It’s best to come with us since you’ll get yourself lost here.” She glanced at him annoyingly.

“I can handle myself, thanks.” She said stubbornly.

“Eve, I’m serious. I don’t want you to be alone in the woods especially when we’re at war.” His tone had become a bit aggressive due to her stubbornness.

“Why do you care? You left me at the inn. You made it clear that all I was someone to warm up your bed.” Tears were threatening to come out, but she was holding in.

“I care enough for an innocent being in the crossfire when shit goes down.” Eren said.

“How fucking noble you are?” She said sarcastically.

Eren grunt from her attitude. Without saying much, he gripped her arm to drag her to where the Garrison and MPs soldiers were making campgrounds for the night.

“Hey, let go! Eren, where are you taking me?” She was trying to free herself from his strong grip.

“You ask too much.” He grumbled. They reached the campsite.

“Jaeger! Who do you have here?” One of the garrison soldiers shouted as they were spotted.

The heiress gave up the struggle as Eren took her. “Just a bratty acquaintance that I know back at Trost.” This made her scoffed at him.

“Oh hello there, dollface. I’m Rick. What’s your name?” Great. This random soldier is hitting on her. She was about to say something, but Eren beats to it.

“She doesn’t like being called a dollface.” Eren was getting irritated.

“But I don’t mind introducing myself. Hello there, I’m Eve. it’s nice to meet you.” Her tone became too flirty for Eren already glaring at her. She finally jerks her arm off from his grip.

Rick blushed from Eve’s bold gesture. “That’s a pretty name.”

Eve gave one of her man-eating smirk. “You don’t mind showing me around the campsite, soldier.” She wrapped her arms around the garrison soldier’s arm which he gladly led her to the campsite leaving a very moody Eren behind.

(Eren)

Oh the inner conflict he’s struggling with not grabbing Eve and claiming those addictive lips. This isn’t just a cute jealousy that he usually gets. This is the angry jealousy. Damn her, she definitely can get him under his skin. Eren closed his eyes as he took a deep breath to calm down.

“Don’t lose it. Fight.” He mumbled to himself.

Eren started walking. Connor stopped him. “What’s wrong? You look like a bobcat ready to attack.”

“It’s nothing. I just have a headache.” The titan shifter walked away. Connor glanced to see the strange girl talking to the fiery red hair soldier.

While Eren was walking to start making his tent, a cough sound was heard behind him. He turned around to see it was Commander Dok.

“Oh hello Commander Dok. Is there something you need to talk about?” Eren gave his attention to the Commander of the Military Police.

“Yes. Matter in fact, why did you bring a stranger to our secret campsite? We don’t know if the girl is a spy for the invaders. Her accent is not from here or even Marley. I know you want to redeem yourself for the betrayal and the atrocities you have caused in Marley. You’re making it difficult to have my complete trust in you and it’s not just me feeling this way. Commander Rico Brzenska of the Garrison branch also had her mistrust with you.” Niles said.

“Commander, I understand you and Brzenska are on edge, especially the templars that took over the island. Eve is not a spy I assure you. She probably followed me since we left on bad terms. She’s harmless. Both of you have nothing to worry about.” Eren took a glimpse at his ex who was still being too friendly with the other soldier.

Niles sighed and nodded. “She’s your responsibility if she does anything suspicious, Jaeger.”

Eren nodded in response. “Of course, sir.”

Niles walked away to let the titan shifter finish setting his tent. Again, the Eldian man took a sneak peak at the spunky woman. She was finally alone which it ease his agonizing heart. He knew this was his fault for leaving her after the promises he told her in their pillow talks. Eren felt the guilt for breaking her heart as the scene of her reaction when he told her off.

It’s like the Path pulled them together. He can try to distance himself from her, but in the end she will always be in his thoughts. When he met her, Eren was frustrated and distracted. His distraction became curiosity to finally get to know her. Eren quickly focused back on his tent as Eve glanced back at him. Both are stubborn when it comes to their relationship dynamics. He always was the strong, protective alpha hero while as for her; she was playful, fun, and loving. There was another side of Eve that he noticed in their weeks of being together.

The sky started to get a bit dark as the sun slowly set on the horizon. Rico Brzenska glanced at the new girl.

“You. Go be useful and bring firewood.” She ordered Eve which the heiress became annoyed but got up to go into the deeper woods.

“Jaeger, go make sure she does it.” Rico said to Eren who already started walking to follow Eve into the deep woods.

Eren kept walking on the thin path of the woods as it gets dense the further he’s away from the campsite. The woods looked lush green with trees and old huge trunks that laid on the ground for centuries covered in green plants and wildflowers. The moist made the temperature drop a bit cooler, but to the titan shifter it doesn’t bother him. He was getting irritated from not finding his girl- no, she’s not his...anymore.

“Where is she?” He whispered then a familiar purple skirt caught his attention. He turned to spotted Eve picking up a couple of sticks. Slowly, Eren walked towards her.

Eve was aware Eren was tailing after her. She gets up and pretends he doesn’t exist. It only took a few steps for the atmosphere to change between them. Eren felt his predator desiring his prey. All she was a manipulative, promiscuous, vixen. Eren may be the type to get mad easily, but with her it was another level. He remembered earlier the way she flirted with Richie or was it Ricky? He doesn’t care to know about the soldier’s name. Eren watched her pace speed up until she sprint into running. She had dropped the sticks to speed further. Eren ran after her. The adrenaline of chasing her made his bloodstream pump more.

Eren smirked when Eve trip but recovered from placing her hand on the tree. Her breathing was shallow from the running. He was already behind her pressing his chest on her back which she became stiff.

“I know what you were trying to do earlier with that soldier.” His voice became raspy. He can hear her heart beating faster. His warm breath tickling her ear and neck.

The heiress bit her lips from not letting out a single moan or sound. Oh god, he’s making it harder to hate him. Of course, she can’t hate him. He’s always known how to drive her crazy for him. How his sexy voice made her panties ruin. She let her eyes closed to continue listening to his godly husky tone.

“You have been pissing me off, baby. Trying to make me jealous huh?” A growl had escaped from his lips.

“Trying? I had no intention of making you jealous.” Eve finally speaks.

“Don’t play dumb with me, Eve. I know you. I gotta give it to you. You’re persistent. There’s one question that’s bothering me the most.” He said

“What would that be?” She said.

“Why didn’t the power of the Founding Titan work on you to erase your memories of me?” Eren had that question from the back of his mind since he caught her from falling from the tree.

Eve had stayed quiet again. She is trying so hard to not want to answer that question. It should affect her since she has Eldian blood in her. Unless, she is a descendant of the Ackerman clan like Mikasa and Captain Levi.

“I want you to be honest with you, Eve.” He tried to change his tone to softer for her. All she did was laugh like it was the funniest joke.

“Honest? You are a funny guy to be demanding me to be honest with you, Eren Jaeger.” Her grey eyes glared dangerously in a way that’s familiar to him again.

“Ever since I met you, you haven’t been honest with me either. You didn’t want to tell me of your plans whenever you claimed you had meetings to go. Recently, you have been pinning me on the tree because you got possessive of me. For a man who claims to have no feelings for me; this shouldn’t bother you whether who I flirt with.” Both lock their eyes in a staring contest.

“So if you want me to be honest then you fucking better stop with your bullshit of pushing and pulling my heart. I know you still love me and feel that desire just as much I feel for you. Eren, whatever this secret it is, I will share your burden. I love you so much that I don’t want you to feel alone in this secret plan you needed to do. Maybe, I can offer you another alternative if you need it.” Now, her tone became compassionate.

“There’s no alternative way if there were I would choose the best and safest one.” He said.

“How would you know that? Have you considered it?” She said.

“No, but trust me I know. I have the knowledge of truth. I saw how the future will become if I don’t do it.” He was getting frustrated. A part of him wants to tell her, but it’s too risky for anyone to know even for her. Eren doesn’t want anything terrible to happen to her. Just as she said, he loves her.

“Then tell me what did you see in the future? I want to understand you. Let me in, please.” Her hands are placed on his cheeks to gently caress them.

“I can’t. Please, understand that. I want to protect you and our people. It’s better than my brother’s method on saving Eldians.” He scoffed at the idea that Zeke had to save the Eldians.

“What was your brother’s plan? Can you at least tell me that?” She was curious what his brother had in mind to save the Eldian race?

“He wanted to sterilize all Eldians in order to stop the curse by dying out slowly and peacefully.” He explained.

“That’s an indirect genocide.” She was a bit distrubed.

“We don’t deserve to die out so in a way I betray my brother by doing this. That’s the future I want to see where Eldians are free from the curse and are at peace to live and enjoy this world that’s our birthright.” He said.

“No, we don’t. Nobody deserves to be annihilated as well…” She whispered. This caught his attention. Does she….had she figured it out what’s his plan?” His green eyes glared at her.

“You knew it. How did you figure out my plan? Eve, you have been mysterious since we met. So tell me, who are you for real? Is Eve even your real name?” His tone was skeptical.

“I...Eren, if I told you, you might think I’m crazy or making shit up.” Her eyes looked afraid but not because of him.

“I don’t think whatever you’ll say will top for the crazy shit I have seen through the Path, but you can try to humor me.” Eren still giving a pinning stare.

“First of all, Eve is my name. Well, my middle name. I’m Natasha Eve Ackerman-Stark. I’m the granddaughter of Queen Historia Ackerman nee Reiss and King Consort Levi Ackerman. Basically, I’m from the future.” Natasha waits nervously for his reaction.

Eren blinked at first taking in this information. He doesn’t know what to say. It kind of made all sense how she had strengthened, sharp aiming skills. Now that he observed better, she got Levi’s colored eyes but her eye shape could be more on her mother's side. He would have not believed her if he hadn’t seen her Ackerman traits that gave away. That also makes sense in why she was immune to the Founding Titan power. He can’t believe she’s from the future. What actually happened? Did his plan work? Are we free? These questions were taking over his thoughts.

“Eren...please say something.” Natasha whispered in worry.

“I’m just taking all in from what you just said. So their baby survived? Wow, if Levi finds out I slept with his granddaughter; I don’t think he’ll let me live.” He chuckled at that thought. The heiress grumbled at that thought.

“Yeah well, he got no saying about my love life.” her tone sounded resentment.

“Do you have a good relationship with Levi?” He was curious.

“Not really. I don’t have a good relationship with them. Our mindsets are a bit different.” She doesn’t want to talk about her issues with her grandparents yet.

“I’m sorry to hear that.” He said. “So what happened or is that against the rules when you traveled to the past?”

“We are still cursed but with good foreign relations with the rest of the world, the United Nations are now involved in managing to make sure who gets to inherit the nine titans so any babies with the blood of Subject Of Ymir won’t inherit when they are born. There’s still discrimination but segregation like in Marley had become illegal including every nation since a special law was passed to protect ever Eldians.” She explained.

“Ah I see. So what happened to me?” If he somehow tried to wipe out the rest of the world except Eldians then there’s a chance he would not live.

“What the history books say, you were executed for treason to the military and to my grandmother as she represents the nation of Paradis, but I heard rumors that they fake it to please the other nations as their agreement for the treaty Paradis have with the rest of the world. You were known as a war criminal and anti- humanity to everyone who studied history. Some say you are still alive and locked away in the deep deep grounds in a secret lab being studied like a labrat until the curse kills you.” Eren grunted. In the end no one was free. They were still cursed and he probably was a slave to be a test subject for titan science.

“That doesn’t sound right. I should be dead either way since I have a few years left.” Eren said.

“I wish it was true the rumor so when I do go back my time, I can free you.” her tone sounded sad. She thought what the future Eren will be like? Is he cold? How do they treat him? But like he said, he’ll be gone way before her existence.

It’s best to just appreciate he is here and ok. She grabs his hand to press her palm to his. Eren looked down curiously at her. He let her do whatever she tended to do with his hand.

“I’ll be dead so you don’t have to worry about freeing me.” He whispered. Eren pulled her gently to have their bodies pressed against each other.

“When are you going back to your time?” He continues.

“Um, I don’t know...the thing is I came here accidentally. I was helping a colleague with a time machine, the facility I worked at. So, I’m stuck until I figure out how to get back home.” She doesn’t want to leave even without him.

“You know, I never planned to fall for you, Eren Jaeger. You are nothing like what history has taught us. You’re much more humane than most people my nana used to deal with as a CEO.” Her arms wrap around his neck which his hands place on her hips.

“Same, you have been a distraction to my plan. In a way, history has changed because of you. The world better be thanking you for that.” He said jokingly. Eren kissed her forehead affectionately. “Eve or I should call you Natasha?”

“To be safe, let’s stick to Eve.” She said.

“Alright, but I want to say I’m sorry. I’m sorry for hurting you. I don’t mean to say these words at the inn. I thought it was best for you to hate me so you don’t get closer to me when I did plan on going through eradicating the population except Eldians. WHen I realized that I have fallen for you, I got scared thinking of losing you. I did the same with Armin and Mikasa. Armin forgave me but Mikasa; I don’t think she will ever.” Eren confessed.

“Eren, I forgive you. I felt relieved you still feel the same way about me as I do to you. Don’t give up on Mikasa, a person who has cared about you for a long time will not easily hold a grudge against you. Just give her time, but don’t be scared to tell how sorry you are and as for her forgiveness.” She punched his arm which he rubbed his arm.

“Hey what was that.” He pouted.

“That’s for you being an idiot in believing all the people who cared about you will hate you easily for planning an apocalyptic disaster. I know you said there’s no other way, but can you try to consider it? I don’t want to lose my other family. I know they didn’t do anything wrong. Some didn't deserve it.” Eren sighed. If the outcome hasn’t happened as he hoped for then maybe he’ll consider it.

“The only thing I want to know is how will the curse be broken?” Eren wants to be cursed to be destroyed to free their people from being hated and feared by the rest of the world. That's one of his big concerns.

“We’ll figure it out together. Plus, I have a talent for finding very hidden documents. So we’ll make sure our people will not have to worry about it.” She assured him and gave one of her warmth smiles.

“Jaeger! Eve! Where are you?” A familiar voice was heard by those two. Eren pulled Eve to hide behind a very wide tree as they saw Ricky or whatever his name was. Now Eren’s mood had shifted to annoyance.

“Seriously, why does he have to come? He’s probably volunteering to be close to you.” He grumbled. Eve blushed embarrassingly. Yeah, she does have flaws to pissed off people or make them jealous. She felt guilty for making him feel that way, She was so hurt that she wanted to see him be hurt too.

Eren noticed her face blushed which made his annoyance become irritated. He possessively wraps his arm around her waist to hold her closer to him. Once the garrison soldier gives up and goes back to the campsite, both are alone again. This time Eren turned her to face him. She was about to speak when his lips crashed against hers. The fiery feeling spread all over her body. She moaned how passionate and deep his kiss had become. Her fingers move up to his long hair to run through it. Low key, seeing Eren this jealous made her belly flutter. The way his green eyes become intense and darken; it’s just too irresistible for her. Eren pushed her against the tree to pin her again. The pleasure consuming both as the lusting feeling drunkenly blinded them.

Eve was her own person that Eren knows, but he’s possessive. He wanted to leave his markings on her so others would back off. Their dynamic is like those impulsiveness couples that are addictive and passionate with each other. He loved how her body responded to his touches. It’s like only he has the power to make her tremble and beg for more. The same vice versa as how Eve acts towards him. In a way they are both similar. They made be in the woods but that won’t stop to go further. Their bodies already yearn for each other. His hands had unbuttoned her blouse to run his tongue all over her exposing breasts.

Soft moans were coming from her own lips. She was panting loud and heavy. It made Eren’s prides swell from seeing her looking like a hot mess. His hand goes under her purple skirt to feel how soaking wet her panties are. His lips hovered to her ear.

“My dollface is so wet for me. Isn’t that right, baby? Come on, speak.” He said huskily.

“Mmmm I-I...Eren.” She struggled to form a sentence. He chuckled how lost she is from his touch. His finger slides her panties down as one of her legs is removed so only her panties dangle on the other leg.

“Come on, babe, answer my question.” He teased her. Eren resumed attending her nipples with his mouth which Eve let out a squeal.

“Fuck...Eren I-I a-am w-wet for y-you.” Finally she completed her phrase.

“Good girl. Remember I’m the only one who can make you wet.” He continued whispering to her. All she could feel was his fingers inside her deep. She started to rock her hips grinding in and out of his fingers. Eren is amused at how eager she is for him. His finger was covered in her warm slick when he pulled out to see.

“Eren, I need you.” She began to make way to his pants from undoing it. He stopped her then pinned her hands over her head on the tree. “Why should I allow you to get what you want? You've been a bad girl earlier.”

“I’m sorry, I’ll be a good girl.” Eve biting her lips. She’s definitely a seductress. Eren’s manhood throbbing to be free in his pants. He grunts at being allured to her desire. He planned to just tease her to learn her lesson.

He subconsciously begins to unbutton his pants to pull down a bit low enough for his cock to be free. Eren hiked up her long skirt to have her leg lift to be placed on his hip while inserting his cock into her hole. The heiress tilted her head up to moan how good it feels to have him stretching her walls. He stared into her eyes as his hips began to thrust hard and deep. They feel the blissful sensation from being so intimated with each other. He kisses her neck as the woods are now dark but the moonlight shines on where they stand. To Eren, Eve looked like a goddess of the night seducing a man like him. He loved how the moonlight soaks into her skin that gives off a glow. He continues thrusting into her with a bit more roughness. He doesn’t want to speed up to make this mystical sight before him last longer. Her chocolate brown hair spread on the tree trunk. He listens to the echoes of her moanings and whimpers.

Yes, she is his. No matter the outcome; they always belong together. He’ll fight for that.

“You’re always mine. Even when we get separated, you’re mine. I love you always and forever.” He proclaimed.

“You’re always mine too. Just don’t ever pull that shit on me again. I love you always forever.” The titan shifter saw her tears fall and he kissed it from the guilt he felt how he treated her even if it was for her sake.

Eren sped up a bit more to increase the high of pleasure for both of them. “Ohh god ohh fuck Eren.” Her moaning became loud while he growls and groans. Finally, he let out a moan when he made a release inside her soon after Eve came as well. Both stopped to rest for a second then slowly Eren pulled out to clean his tip before tucking his cock back into his pants and button again.

Eve started to slide her panties back up then button up her blouse. She fixes her long skirt appropriately and her hair to look presentable.

“Oh shit, it’s dark and I’m gonna get yelled for not bringing sticks for the fire.” She forgot what was her main purpose being in the woods. “You can be such a distraction.”

Eren winked then grabbed her hand to lead her back to the campsite. “I’m not sorry. We’ll get some on our way back to the camp.”

Along their way back, both of them gather many sticks of wood to burn for the fire. By the time they got to their destination, Rico glared at the both of them.

“Well well, are you both done fucking like two animals during heat season? Next time, bring the woods when I order too. Seriously, you both have some weird kinks in being loud enough for anyone very close to hear.” Luckily, her voice wasn’t loud for anyone to hear her calling both couples out. Eren and Eve blushed embarrassingly from being scolded like misbehaving teenagers. After Rico finished scolding, she left them alone for them to place the wood close to the pit. Eren let Eve for her to put some wood into the fire to make it big to warm around the campsite. He walked to where Connor was resting against the log. “You look happy for once.” Connor glanced at him. Eren had a smile from the event that happened in the woods. “Yeah.”

“Good, don’t let her get away. I had a woman like her, but I was stupid enough to push her away. Don’t make the same mistake I did, kid.” The Assassin closed his eyes to resume his nap.

A/N: My fingers are hurting from typing so much lol. I’ll just leave it like this and let you think about how you guys like this chapter. I know guys wanted to see more of Levi’s ancestor journey. I will do that in the next chapter and add more of Historia too. Enjoy this chapter everyone and happy valentine’s day!!!! Thank you for the reviews and kudos!

10 Questions Tag

Rules: answer 10 questions and ask 10 new ones.

Thank you to @therefugeofbooks for tagging me! :D

1. What’s your favorite cold drink?

Right now, it’s American ice coffee, but as ice chocolate milk (it’s just cold coffee chocolate milk with ice cubes) since I don’t like coffee. It sounds bad, but it’s surprisingly good, shout out to Americans I guess.

2. What’s the first thing you notice about a person?

Their accent....

3. Do you have any pets? What would you name if you had one (more)?

I currently have two cats (Kit-Kat and Charlie) and a dog (Toby), none of whom we named. I think Henley could be a good name for a cat.

4. What was your favorite TV show growing up?

Sesame Street. (We never got a tv in Israel, but I did like watching Zack and Cody on youtube with my friends.)

5. What’s your ideal vacation?

There are so many choices...

6. Is there any book that you want to read but by any reason you keep avoiding it?

A lot of big books scare me, especially since I walk home from the library xD So Dragon’s Milk by Susan Fletcher for that reason.

7. What book do you hope will be turned into a movie or TV show one day?

I think summer camp novels are a great choice to turn into tv shows, and there’s this series I read when I was younger about a Jewish girls’ summer camp that I really liked.

8. Are there any books that are really popular but you dislike?

The Little Prince! It’s so boring to me. If you like it, why do you, I’m super curious.

9. When did you last visit a library?

Monday.

10. Could you recommend me a book that you think is underrated?

Could I. As always, I’m going to recommend The Star and the Sword/Pamela Melkinoff because this book is the best (historical fiction, kids town is burned in a pogrom and they have to go to their uncle’s house which is through Nottingham Woods and past Robin Hood). For something I don’t recommend all the time, All About Simon and His Grandmother/Elisabeth Roberts, which is a bunch of cozy short stories told from the perspective of a little kid visiting his eccentric grandmother.

Tagging: @afairytale @iwritealittleofficial @tanda-soal @redflawedglass @zarinaa113 @kajsaschubeler @beautifulpaxielreads @baldursgatekeeper @anassarhenisch and @that-bookworm-guy to (if they want to) answer these ten questions:

1. What is your favorite subgenre (fairytale retellings, comedy of manners, alternative history, etc.)?

2. Do you prefer writing poetry or prose?

3. What’s your favorite book from where you live (interpret this as broadly or as small as you want to)?

4. Do you watch any reality tv?

5. Who is your favorite “sidekick” (from Robin to Ron and Hermione)?

6. Do you prefer warm or cold colours?

7. What is your favorite type of art to do?

8. What was your favorite subject in school?

9. Do you like writing book reviews?

10. What’s a short story I should read?

BIOGRAPHY:

ignatia demetriou was born into a loving family. that she'd end up killing.

the demetriou family has lived in the mountainous village of adirondax for centuries, even long before the war with the lakelands. and they've always been a quiet family, never stirring up any trouble with the silver guards, always treating them with respect and kindness — not that they were ever treated that way in return. still, the demetrious were nothing but cordial to their silver superiors. and that's exactly how gaida and elias raised lir, ignatia, and aloutte: to be soft, to be kind, to be… weak.

for most of her life, ignatia suffered in silence, wanting to stand up to the injustices the silvers dealt them, but not wanting to upset her meek, subservient parents who she loved dearly. after all, they raised her and kept a roof over her head and made sure her and her siblings always had something to eat, no matter how slight a meal it sometimes was. and, not to mention, they were so frail, she was afraid that they might break if she upset them, so she was careful not to. she lived on her tiptoes.

her father was injured in the war, sent home early with only one arm, but her brother had no such luck avioding the battlefield. when ignatia was fourteen, lir turned eighteen and was on his way to fight with the rest of the eighteen year olds the silver guards had rounded up from their village. ignatia went to hug her brother goodbye… and he dropped to the ground, dead. ignatia can still hear her mother's screams and the silver guards jokes that lir up and died before the lakelanders got a chance to kill him !

it wasn't unil ignatia was hugging her father at her mother's funeral ( whose cause of death was also hugging ignatia ) and he, too, dropped dead, that ignatia realized that they were not dying of weak hearts like the medics hypothosized. they were dying… because of her. too bad she didn't learn her lesson there and then, and it wasn't until she killed her aunt, unclee, and cousin, as well, that ignatia began refusing human touch. she left her girlfriend, and tried to steal away in the night alone, but aloutte — beautiful, stubborn little aloutte — followed her, and she refused to leave her sister.

with the help of mira whistle, they've been able to stay on the run, out of the hands of the silvers, for years because whenever a silver tracked them down, ignatia would just siphon the life from them. it was no big loss to society, ignatia figured. but sweet, gentle hearted little aloutte always insisted on burying them, and ignatia was soft for her baby sister, ( and only for her baby sister ! ) so she could never say no.

mira whistle eventually introduced ignatia to a man named will whistle, who set up a meeting for her with mare barrow — the one and only lightning girl. mare turned out to be forming a newblood army, and said she could help ignatia with her ability, or find someone that could. ignatia agreed to join her on the condition that aloutte, who was not a newblood, could come, too. mare ( and her companion, the exiled prince ) seemed hesitant, but the boy they would later come to know as kilorn, who was already bonding with aloutte, talked them into it. ignatia ( and aloutte ) liked him already.

CW for drawing of topless murder carrot, detailed descriptions of injury & vivid pain imagery.

I would like to highlight that this post only refers to traits and not storyline/timeline alterations. I prefer to explore these with my partners in threads rather than write the entire storyline myself. Thank you for reading!

‘ Dead? You mean to tell me you’ve never taken a nap on a car roof? ’ - Jerome Valeska, after waking up from yet another death

Perhaps brother dear got to wear the purple suit, but if you think about it, color is a little subjective, is it not? It is said that drowning is one of the worst ways to go, but those who sustain a broken ribcage & a bunch of lead in their system might tell you otherwise. This luscious carrot-top, in specific had a bit of a hard time healing those fatal wounds. They say keeping a positive attitude helps, to which Jerome would retort that it can be a little hard to smile through your stitches.

At least nobody SHAVED anything off of him this time, right ?

‘ If I open my eyes and I’m not wearing pants... I swear- ’ - Jerome Valeska, after regaining consciousness in the makeshift lab used to reanimate him

Before I begin I would like to direct your attention to this post ( x ) containing headcanons about post season 2 Jerome, after prolonged exposure to Strange’s concoctions. I would also like to point out that it is canonical for Joker to be blessed with obnoxious luck - it is considered to be his equivalent of a superpower in some parts of the fandom. This element is also present in the show, with Jerome being saved from his Uncle by Bruce due to sheer luck, having his cult rescue him from Jeremiah out of just luck and good timing and sustaining a bullet to his shoulder during his final scene, which enabled him to still be mobile & capable of climbing up presumably three flights of stairs in the least.

Therefore, it makes sense for him to be capable of surviving his fatal fall, as long as his luck would work in his favor again and have a few cultists around to retrieve his body. More details about the divergent storyline I follow on that aspect can be found in my verses page.

‘ We were a little worried we would have to scoop him up with a spoon, but fortunately he was all in one piece when we found him. Phew. ’ - some cultist by the name ‘Clyde’

INJURIES SUSTAINED;

Broken ribs;

Due to his increased healing factor, Jerome will be able to heal his entire ribcage back within a month or so. That is, assuming he does not go out of his way to make things worse for himself. Physical exercise is highly prohibited for a time span after his initial awakening. Coughing or laughing causes severe abdominal pain. Severe bruising is present around the area.

Bullet wounds;

Three in total number, all inflicted by GCPD’s favorite golden boy - needless to say, The Original Clown Prince of Crime is not too happy about this outcome. Really Jim? In the stomach ? That’s rude.

Below follows a scandalous topless shot, drawn by yours truly the mun, that depicts how the final piece looks in recent times.

Shot 1; Upper chest. A flesh wound. Left behind a nasty scar. Some nerves around his arm are damaged. With moderate physical exercise and proper caring his increased healing factor will help him recover in time. The bullet failed to puncture anything too vital. However it’s safe to say it did - and does - hurt like hell, especially when he moves this arm. Gestures might appear stiff.

Shot 2; Forearm. Fortunately for him it was just a scratch compared to the others. Albeit very painful & leaving behind a nasty scar, it was a surface wound that didn’t puncture anything vital. Nerves around the area were severely damaged upon impact and thus Jerome has lost feel of certain parts on his forearm.

Shot 3; Stomach. This one topped it off. One centimeter away and it would have landed right on his aorta, the biggest artery in the human body. Luckily for the clown, he got away with a punctured stomach. Even though what little following he had left blackmailed a surgeon or two to stitch him up, there are lingering symptoms such as;

Inability to eat certain foods/large portions. Severe abdominal pain follows food consumption. Laying down for a prolonged period of time gives him heartburn. Upon drinking anything acidic he will most likely vomit. Antibiotics are required to ensure he won’t end up with an infection. Severe abdominal pain will be frequent initially.

Thanks to the increased healing factor Jerome will be able to heal the actual hole but certain symptoms might remain. Depending on his behavior for the first weeks following his reanimation there may be complications.

Mental damage/psychological trauma;

Fortunately that precious eccentric noodle of his remains intact, all the funny thoughts are still inside, we counted the voices meticulously and nobody’s missing. Nothing to worry about on that aspect. However, even for men such as Jerome Valeska, a death experience remains...well, a death experience. As much as he likes to pretend he can FLOAT over mundane feelies, certain things stuck with him regardless.

Delusions of grandeur have never reached quite the level they do now - and we all know what he was like before. Death is a natural expectation that lives in all human beings, therefore if defeating it once convinced him that dear dad’s word was true, coming back TWICE definitely sealed the deal. Jerome is pretty much convinced he’s invincible at this point.

However, he is extremely self conscious about the fact he can’t run or perform physical activities the way he used to. He tires out faster and will push his poor heart to its limits just to prove a point - to himself. It is very likely that Jerome will seek to upgrade his physical body, as he now considers this some sort of ‘vessel’ for the demigod-spirit type deal he believes he is. Expect some messed up ‘can I put my brain in this lookalike’s body’ type situations.

As long as there’s someone to scoop him up after a fall, Jerome’s body is not completely worn out yet. And this means what you think it means; Gotham’s favorite maniacal cockroach is here to STAY, baby.

So like when Martin becomes emperor and gets married then has kids, does this mean Korbin and Lucien will be their crazy uncles?

Dear Lord above, this is by far one of the most adorable questions I have ever been asked in regards to the storyline and ongoing trainwreck based around Korbin and his adoptive brothers. Like, oh my goodness, you precious little Anon! I quite literally just want to scoop you up in my arms, and give you the biggest hug for popping into my askbox and giving me a rush of adorable images, because this is overwhelmingly precious, and I am sitting here melting in my chair with the biggest smile on my face!

But to stop flailing about in glee for a moment, and to properly answer your question: Yes, without a doubt, completely and one hundred percent yes. Korbin and Lucien would most certainly be the eccentric, yet still very loving, Uncles to Martin child whensoever the Emperor Priest ended up having a heir. In fact, in my own Lore, I have played around with this concept once or twice for the sake of warm and fuzzy feelings!

So, if you’re rather curious about this, allow me to go into detail for a moment.

(*~*Lengthy details of Korbin, Martin, and Lucien being fathers and uncles underneath the cut!*~*)

Even though this actually happens way down the line, and I am still in the process of working out most of the details, Lucien and Martin actually do end up having children at some point. Martin ends up having a son named Darius – named for his adoptive father who raised him upon the farmlands, and who ended up dying at some point when he was in the Mages Guild, causing him to fall down the path towards Sanguine in his own grief – with his wife who is based around, and inspired by the wonderful Dragon Age character Josephine.

I have yet to find out exactly what I wish for her to be within my own lore, but I know for a fact that she would be a book keeper of some kind. And that her and Martin, quite literally, bumped into one another. They were both shy, but enjoyed one another’s company, and bonded over their passion for books. She also would, mostly likely, keep her past as a Bard – or in this case, an assassin of some kind – which would match well with Martin’s darker tendencies, and the fact that his adoptive siblings are assassins themselves.

Darius would have her mother’s eye and skin color, and the hair color, facial shape, and freckles of his father. He is a little ray of sunshine, and unfortunately has a strained relationship with his Uncle Lucien. (When Darius was born, and introduced to Lucien, he frowned and bapped The Assassin on the nose. Lucien was both annoyed, and amused; as he knew in that moment this was most certainly Martin’s child.)He gets along well with his Uncle Korbin, and his Aunt Ath – who I shall be speaking of in a moment – but him and Lucien have a long road towards becoming close. It is not as though they hate one another, it is just that Darius has difficulties trusting the man at first, and struggles to understand the reasoning behind his father and The Assassin’s tight bond. But once Lucien went out of his way to protect Darius from some threat, then things became much easier. By the end of Septim Heir’s teenage years, him and Lucien developed a much steadier relationship.

As for Lucien, he ends up having a daughter named Eleanor with his wife – and amazing and wonderful character whom I adore and cherish belonging to my friend @fruity-pies – Aðísla Bjǫrnsdóttir (Or Ath for short). She has her mother’s eyes, and her father’s hair, and a mixture of their skin tone. She gets along extremely well with both her Uncle Korbin – with him, the two of them are always finding ways to get into trouble, always laughing and enjoying themselves, and always finding ways to spring some prank on those least expecting – and Uncle Martin – she feels protected and comfortable around him, always going to him for advice or emotional support when things become just a little bit too confusing or overwhelming – and is basically a bit of a bookworm with a hidden adventurous side, and slight protective temper.

And for Korbin, well… to be perfectly honest, he wouldn’t actually have a child in the Revised – or Normal, in my lore – Timeline, as he has an incredible amount of trouble with intimacy of any kind, but especially sexual because of Sheogorath. (You can ask more about this if you’re curious, but be aware I may tiptoe over some things.)

However, if there was a chance for it to happen outside of an alternate timeline, he would end up having a daughter named Lucille Maria Redd – her first and middle name coming from his beloved brothers, of course – with a lover of his own who is actually based around another Dragon Age character, and that is the ever lovely and strongwilled Cassandra. I chose her for Korbin, as when I really started developing his story more seriously, I was going through another playthrough of Inquisition, and their interactions together just really stuck with me.

Thus, when thinking about Korbin’s romantic history, I couldn’t help myself.

Lucille has a mixture of both his parents hair, dark brown with light grey streaks and tips at the bottom, her mother’s skin color, and her father’s golden eyes. She is remarkably close to both of her beloved Uncles – Lucien was one of the first people she saw outside her parents, and she started giggling with a large smile on her face when she saw him, and she cherishes the warmth and protection Martin’s magic brings her – and always enjoys being with them when they are stuck with babysitting duty. She’s dubbed ‘Little Shadow’ by Lucien, and ‘Lil Heart’ by Martin.

And much like their father’s before them, Lucille, Eleanor, and Darius stick to one another’s sides like glue, and often get into all manner of adventures together while growing up. Darius is the eldest of the group, but his younger cousins are fiercely, and overly protective of his general well being, much to the Septim Heir’s embarrassment.

But overall, the three of them do have quite the crazy types of Uncles in their lives! Lucille has her protective Uncle Lucien who gave her a dagger for her tenth birthday, and her soft Uncle Martin who magically enchanted her necklace with a protective light spell. Eleanor has her best friend Uncle Korbin who she is always getting into mayhem with, and her wise and gentle Uncle Martin who is always there with a kind word and reassuring embrace.

And Darius has his humorous Uncle Korbin who is always sneaking him sweetrolls when he needs a boost because of Princely stress, and his strange, and yet surprisingly effective guardian Uncle Lachance who always keeps him out of harms way. But, considering who these wonderful kid’s Uncles are, and the bond the three of them shared together throughout so many long years, what else would they truly be if not slightly crazy and over the top!?

So yes, dear wonderful Anon, to answer your question, yes Korbin and Lucien would most certainly be Darius’ eccentric Uncles, but Martin gets a chance to be one of them himself to Lucien and Korbin’s children just as well!

I realize that this post wound up becoming quite the lengthy read, but considering I adored your question so much, I honestly couldn’t help myself! I hope the above ended up giving you some warm fuzzies, because rest assured that I certainly got them from your ask!

Important Notes:

Usually have Ajan, his Chesnaught along with him.

Have an extrembly large family ( on his mother’s side ) and it’s quite common to see him with any of them while off duty; the way he refer to and talks about his family is very strange which tends to confuse others. Calls his uncle his “ father ” and his cousins ( and aunts ) his “ siblings ” but it’s only an title and still only his extended family.

Have calming fragrances and medicine always on hand.

Like most members of the Andrianantoandro family can sense supernatural activity to some degree.

Personality Sum:

He’s an lively and energetic free-spirited young man. Gets bored easily and prone to make impulsive decisions when left to his own devices.

Can look like a big scatterbrain, but he’s actually very insightful of his surroundings, also his emotions or attitude about something can be incredibly intense.

Certainly an “people person” though not incredibly talkative, he’s still a very affectionate and supportive person to be around. An approachable and sensitive young man, though have an unexpectedly puerile attitude.

He can be overly sensitive, but still tries to brush things off as if nothing is wrong. His optimism and carefree demeanor can be skewed as unrealistic at times.

Backstory: Originally from a small village nearby Laverre City with his surrounded by his large clan, mostly everyone he knew was family or close associates of the Andrianantoandro’s. His mother’s family are known mostly for herbalism, especially aromatherapy and homemade medicine. His familywere rumored to dabble in the occult and spiritual interests along with their naturopathy. His father is a biochemist that previously served as an ranger for Couriway City’s local wild routes.

After gaining an trainer license and receiving an starter when he was ten, Rosin enrolled himself in a ranger school overseas. After years away from Kalos, Rosin moved back with his family in Couriway Town to act as an auxiliary and worked along with the local rangers around the routes until he was officially assigned to routes nearby Laverre and Dendemille until further noticed.

Now since he works nearby his mother clan’s village, Rosin decided live with his relatives for the time being. His uncle, Dr.Lusa Sao Andrianantoandro is an horticulturist with his own study including an greenhouse inside Laverre City and his aunt ( but refer as an sister ) Fenesoa owns an essence and flower shop also residing in Laverre too; so the ranger regularly go back and forth from the city to the outskirts.

Faceclaim: Aijima Cecil from Uta no☆prince-sama♪

Specializes in what type(s): Grass and Ghost

Favorite Type(s): Grass, Fairy, Ghost, and Poison

Hobbies: Boxing, diamanga, painting, and crafts

Favorite Food(s): Most noodle dishes, most rice dishes; and anything with lemon, mango, and sakay pepppers ( or any hot spice or pepper ).

Interest(s) with Pokemon: He personally wanted to be an ranger for the protection of natural environment and that includes the Pokemon too of course. His mother’s family are known to have breed many Grass, Fairy, and Ghost types for centuries as well as being eccentric yet incredibly old fashion; so no one around him are too surprised that he’s such an Ghost type enthusiast.

Know any other muse(s): N/A

——————————————————————————————————

Anja ( Relaxed, Nods offa lot )

Rosin’s starter and his “number one trooper”, though not exactly the best Pokemon to with patrolling at first due his nonchalant and carefree attitude. Though he take himself more seriously as an ranger’s Pokemon than before, but once duties end Anja is back to himself and probably ready for a nap too.

( Jolly, Impetuous and silly )

Caught during one of his first missions in Kalos ( though mainly just occupying an senior ranger ) with inside a cave nearby Couriway. Honestly he was of terrified the tiny Noibat at first, but overtime he began to feel more comfortable with her. She's energetic and playful, also very affectionate toward her anybody especially her own trainer; known to do things without thinking.

( Quiet, Highly curious )

He was caught was small Litwick during Rosin’s mission to help an scared couple in an abandoned hotel. Originally befriend with his styler to help him by brightening the dim, dreary place. When the Litwick was free to go, he just kept following ( not to mention draining ) Rosin around even outside the area. Eventually the ranger simply caught him and let him stay around as an trusted companion.

——————————————————————&md ash;———————————

Felanea ( Sassy, Somewhat vain )

She was caught as an Flabebe when he was an unassigned auxiliary ranger on an mission nearby Luminose City. His family use to travel afar to certain areas for to befriend and raise the wild Fairy types for centuries and he might as well keep up the tradition himself. She’s spunky, though temperamental and can be too self-concerned. Instead of assisting in Rosin’s party, the Floette stays at his aunt’s shop and seems more content in a pet’s life, but will assist her trainer when needed.

Blotin - ( Impish, Mischievous )

Caught during mission for an apparently haunted abandoned hotel near the outskirts of Laverre. They was pulling pranks on an scared couple that went inside as some sort of dare date. Blotin is childish and eager little scamp; instead of assisting the ranger Rosin on regular bases Blotin stays his aunt’s shop .

( Lonely, Somewhat stubborn )

Caught along the same time with his Gourgeist as an Phantump while on his way toward an mission to an abandoned hotel. He’s incredibly attached Rosin and his Gourgeist at that being with each other for an longtime ( the whole reason he was captured was to keep them together ) . The large tree like Pokemon usually stays in the greenhouse owned by the ranger’s uncle unless needed.

( Gentle, Strong willed )

Caught as an young Pumpkaboo when Rosin was on his way toward an mission to an abandoned hotel. A little girl stop him and told the ranger about a “ really scary ” Pokemon that spooked her. Turns out it was just an little Pumpkaboo that was trying to protect her younger Phantump friend and her small patch of territory. She usually stays in at the greenhouse owned by Rosin’s uncle.

——————————————————————————————————-

Initial Relationships

Family

[ Doctor ] Neville and Ruo Lan Lavienge / Père and Reny / Father and Mother

Rosin’s parents that live in Couriway Town. His relationship with his dad is much closer than with his mother, though he still love and respect her dearly as well. Rosin acts slightly more serious around his mother and seems worried about her approval.

[ Doctor ] Lusa Sao Andrianantoandro / Papa / Uncle

Many people assume that Rosin is Dr.Andrianantoandro’s son until explanation. Rosin merely call him a father due to his upbringing ( his family prefer not using terms for extended family ), when he’s not on duty or helping at his aunt’s flower shop then he’s helping Papa Lusa in his study as an aid.

Niririna “Niri” and Vololona “ Lona” / Cousins

Despite calling the older pair his big brother and sister they are his cousins. Rosin always admired Niri as an role model and wishes to be more professional like him. He respects Lona as well, but thinks more casually about her not really as a role model.

What do you think the Kou bros value in a wife the most??? If the Kou bros had a family, what expectations would they have for their children, what would they want to avoid perhaps based on their own experiences with their family, and what kind of father do you think they'd want to be to their kids and how do they fulfill that? Sorry if this ask is a bit confusing ^^;; ty!

no worries! not confusing at all :^) please note tho: these are my personal thoughts!! I don’t dictate the type of person these characters would be into or what kind of family man they’d be, either. anyways, this was a lot of fun! thank you for sending it in ^^ if anyone wants to send a request in for something like this, please just keep it to 1 character, 2 max. I know this is only three, but it was sitting in my drafts for like a week because I started feeling overwhelmed haha

Kouen Ren

Value Most In a Wife

The prince would value woman who has a regal, peaceful air around her, befitting the wife of a man his stature. She would be strong willed in her beliefs, put her family first, and her children before everyone else. She would need good communication skills, and be willing and able to call him out on something she thinks he’s doing wrong or could handle better. A woman who was nurturing and motherly would be ideal. Kouen knows he can be quite distant, so he would truly value a wife who could fill in the emotional spots Kouen knew he could leave blank in.

Expectations for Children

Kouen’s children would need to be proud of their heritage and their empire. He would expect them to be knowledgeable in war and fighting, and would push them in their studies and training, trying to prepare them for the terrifying world he knew too well. Kouen would expect them to do as he says with very little question to his authority. If they wanted to know why he was doing what he was doing he wouldn’t mind, but if they were to challenge him, Kouen would strongly dislike it. He would try his best to raise them to be model princes or princesses: honorable, kind, compassionate, loving, merciful, strong, driven, and able to make the tough decisions.

Wants to Avoid

Despite his expectation for them to be perfect children of royalty, Kouen wouldn’t want them to feel pressured like he was when he was growing up. He wouldn’t want them to feel like they have to work day and night to try and be like someone else… Like he did with Hakuyuu. Kouen would want to avoid raising his children in such a way that they had no uniqueness or identity to them. He would try to avoid having no one around them for support; his siblings had been invaluable to him when he was growing up, so he wouldn’t want them to not have people there for them.

Wants to Be Like & How

Kouen would want to be a father who was there for his children, a father who was supportive and stern, but truly loved his children and would do anything for them. He’d want to come off as capable, raising his children well so that they were respectful and well behaved. To achieve these things, Kouen would work hard to keep his temperament in mind, noting how he spoke, what words he used, his posture, and so on when talking to his children. He wouldn’t ever want his children to feel like he was completely distant, so he would work to be very involved in their studies and hobbies, encouraging them from the sidelines in an attempt to not be too overbearing.

Koumei Ren

Value Most In a Wife

A motherly, housewife type would be ideal for Koumei. He would appreciate a wife who was quiet, not needy for attention, and disciplined. Someone who would remind Koumei to take care of himself and get sleep, but not someone who bugs him about it. She would need to respect his boundaries and be happy to wait for him until he returned for the night, showering him in love during that time. Being able to cook would be a huge bonus, as would be if she enjoyed quiet activities, like reading or feeding pigeons.

Expectation for Children

Koumei would expect his children to be well-behaved, respectful, and able to take care of themselves. He would try to raise them to be independent and responsible, not wanting them to end up like him. Koumei would preach about health and personal hygiene, making sure his children were taking care of themselves and getting a solid nine hours of sleep a night (more would be preferable. Sleep is important.) His children being intelligent and wise would be another expectation, as well as them being dedicated to their studies.

Wants to Avoid

He would want to avoid raising his children distantly. Koumei, although he finds it troublesome at times, would want his children to know that they are loved by him, so he wouldn’t want them to feel like he preferred his quiet time over spending time with them. The prince would want his children to feel like they weren’t trying to play catch-up to their siblings and cousins, that they could take their time and be themselves. Koumei would avoid teaching them his own self-health regimen (or lack thereof) at all costs.

Wants to Be Like & How

The prince would want to be a dedicated father, in tune with his children’s lives. He would listen to their stories, letting them ramble on as he worked, and answer any questions they had to his best ability. Koumei would want to be a present father, having his children know that if they ever needed anything, he was there for them, and that they could interrupt his work-time if it was something important. Basically, Koumei would want to give off the appearance that he was a caring, loving father, and in trying to do this, he would actually be a caring, loving father.

Kouha Ren

Value Most In a Wife

Kouha would value individuality and spontaneity in a wife. He would need someone who could keep up with his eccentric attitude, but could also help bring him down when need be. A wife who wasn’t like other women, especially in the conventional sense, and who was somewhat stubborn would be ideal. Kouha would really appreciate a wife who could challenge him, but would let him win. She would also need to be loving, and have a good head on her shoulders.

Expectations for Children

He would expect his children to be just as unique as him, but would want them to be more stable. Kouha would want his children to be good at fighting, quick on their feet, and witty. They would be able to hold themselves in a fight, and have fun while doing it. He would expect them to be respectful to their family and people who have it less fortunate than them, and help those society shunned. Kouha would expect them to have a good moral compass, and to not look down on people “less” than them.

Wants to Avoid

He’d want to avoid raising them to be stingy and cold, and honestly I can’t ever see him doing that. Kouha would want to avoid raising them in such a way that had them feel superior to everyone else, like they were entitled to certain things. Above all else, Kouha would want to avoid raising them in a secluded setting. He would want them to be raised with other people, like their cousins, uncles, aunts, and so on. Another thing he’d want to avoid is his children feeling lonely, especially if it was because they felt secluded because of their parents for one reason or another.

Wants to Be Like & How

Kouha would want to be a supportive father, always encouraging his children to go after their dreams and experiment with what hobbies they enjoyed. He would help them in their studies, help them learn to fight and lead, and would love to just sit back and watch them grow. The prince would want to be a good father and never shun his children for anything, like his father did with him and his mother. He would work to be very accepting, asking his children why they thought the way they did and having regular conversations with them about various topics, never shying away from any questions they had.

Elisabeth das Musical exposition/setting notes

Back when I was translating the ‘92 Vienna rehearsal footage to English I ended up digging deeper than I probably should have into lyrics, because I was kinda fascinated with how precisely you could pinpoint some of the songs in time that way.

I ended up including an extremely short summary of...fun trivia I learned as footnotes in my yt videos for Americans and other aliens (...kidding. kidding! Not like I really remember what was up with Spring of Nations either other than ‘Poland was there too’...) but since a) like nobody watches ‘92 Elisabeth b) if they do they are almost guaranteed not to read video descriptions anyway, I finally decided to repost this here.

Or, you know, you can check out @land-of-blitheness-and-catharsis Vienna Revival Elisabeth translations for some way more entertaining background comments.

PROLOG

[1] Luigi Lucheni (1873-1910) Italian anarchist famous for assassinating Empress Elisabeth of Austria in 1898. Died in 1910 by hanging himself in his cell while serving a life sentence in Geneva. Curiously enough, his head had been preserved in formaldehyde and only buried in 2000, 90 years after his death.

[2] Grammar bonus in case you live under a rock: German is a language with what is known as grammatical gender, effectively making the noun 'death' come with built-in male pronouns unless stated otherwise.

[3] "Why not? She loved Heinrich Heine!" Heinrich Heine (1797 – 1856) Born to a Jewish family but later converted to Christianity, German poet, journalist, essayist, and literary critic. Elisabeth was something of a fan, to put it mildly.

WIE DU

[4] "In this case, it's impossible." Elisabeth absolutely can't come with her father because, according to the libretto, he is actually on his way to spend a night with an actress in Monachium.

[5] "...with a zither under one arm" The flat, black box Elisabeth doesn't want to give back to her father is indeed a zither case.

JEDEM GIBT ER DAS SEINE

[6] Franz-Joseph I of Austria (1830 – 1916) The oldest of four brothers, ascended the throne in 1848 at the age of eighteen when, after his epileptic uncle's Ferdinand I abdication, his father stepped aside in his favor.

[7] "Russia, we owe rescue.../...from the revolution." In 1848 a wave of political upheavals swept across Europe, an event known as the Spring of Nations. Stuck between fighting in the territories of today's Italy and the rebelling Hungarians, who were at the time under the rule of the Austrian Empire, Austria lacked the power to quell the latter. Assistance from its ally, Russia, was sent for and the revolution suppressed.

[8] Crimean War (1853 - 1856) Military conflict fought between Russia and an alliance of France, the British Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia started over the rights of Christian minorities in the Ottoman Empire. Russia lost and apparently was none too happy about Austrian Empire choosing to remain neutral.

SIE PASST NICHT

[9] "Rauscher's speech was too long." Joseph Othmar Ritter von Rauscher (1797-1875), Cardinal and Austrian Prince-Archbishop of Vienna, considered the father of the Austrian Concordat of 1855. This will kinda keep coming up.

DER LETZTE TANZ

[10] "In mirror room" (der Spiegelsaal) Large mirrors used to be difficult to produce and thus very expensive. Naturally, for a while small rooms and galleries with mirrors embedded in the walls seem to have been a must-have in every grand residence.

DIE ERSTEN VIER JAHRE

[11] "Where does she stand on Hungary?" After the rebellion of 1848 Hungary wasn't exactly in the Austrian Empire's best books. A lot of its former independence was taken away.

DIE FRÖHLICHE APOKALYPSE

[12] "One more coffee!" Wiener Melange ("Viennese blend") is a type of coffee drink specific to Vienna, traditionally consisting of a shot of expresso topped with hot milk and milk foam.

[13] We've signed a concordat!" A concordat is convention between the Holy See and a sovereign state that defines the [..] privileges of the Catholic Church in a particular country. (Thanks wikipedia...) In the case of Austrian Concordat of 1855 the Church was granted full control over their direct affairs, oversight of approx 98% of public schools and their curriculum as well as jurisdiction over marriages where either or both the couple were Catholic. In other words something of a big deal and most liberals really weren't a fan.

[14] "The last Crimean War neutralized us.../And Austria is now.../ ...politically, completely isolated./[...]/And we are now at war with Piedmont!" In 1858 England and, more importantly, Russia, is definitely still sulking over Austrian Empire's neutrality in the Crimean War. In the meanwhile wars in what is today's Italy continue, notably with the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. Up until 1871 Italy was a collection of small kingdoms/city states. The Second Italian War of Independence of 1859 will prove to be a crucial part of their future unification.

[15] "...crowds of men waving their fists/at her on Ballhausplatz." The Ballhausplatz is a square in central Vienna and the location of the residence/set of office of the Chancellor of Austria. It's also located a short walk's distance from the Austrian Parliament building.

SCHÖNHEITSPFLEGE

[16] "Here, veal for the face./Lay it in thick slices on the cheeks.../[...]/The meat sauce, that she drinks at midday.../...has to, imagine.../...absolutely be from a fillet." etc Supposedly all true. She is also known for fasting, exercising rigorously and tight-lacing her corsets to a worrying degree.

WIR ODER SIE

[17] "A ringleader advanced.../...to a minister of state!" Likely refers to Count Gyula Andrássy (1823 – 1890), a Hungarian statesman who, in 1867, with Elisabeth's backing became Prime Minister of Hungary. By all accounts a close friend, thought to be lover by some.

[18] "...she rules like a Pompadour!" Madame de Pompadour (1721 – 1764) chief mistress of French king Louis XV and, later, his close friend and confidant. While having little official political influence, she was able to gather a network of supporters and wielded considerable power behind the scenes.

[19] "Instead of Goethe or Schiller.../...she recites Heine!" A serious offense indeed seeing as Goethe and Schiller are some of the most iconic/well-known German-language writers, while Heine's more radical works were banned.

[20] "I will, myself, undertake.../...delivering a Circe to him" In the Greek epic poem Odyssey, the hero Odysseus is steadfast and unrelenting in his attempt to return home to his faithul wife Penelope, except for that one entire year he spends feasting and sharing a bed of a powerful sorceress named Circe. Because why not.

MALADIE

[21] "One.../...known as the French disease." Anemia, fever and dizzy spells are not exactly the most prominent symptoms of secondary syphillis and Elisabeth's bad health is only speculated to be a result of a veneral disease instead of constant stress she was under, but I suppose we’ll just have to trust the personification of death on this one. You'd assume he'd know.

DIE RASTLOSEN JAHRE

[22] "Wants to Corfu, Pest and England..." Budapest is the capital and the largest city of Hungary. Originally two separate cities, Buda and Pest, it became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube in 1873.

DIE SCHATTEN WERDEN LÄNGER

[23] "To the tune of the Pied Piper.../...they dance wildly..." "Der Rattenfänger von Hameln", better known in the Anglosphere as "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" is a German legend concerning a rat-catcher hired to lead rats away from the city of Hamelin using his magical flute. When the townsfolk refuse to give him the promised payment, he turns the magic on the town's children instead, luring them all into the unknown.

HASS

[24] "Nationalists! Supporters of Schönerer." Georg Ritter von Schönerer (1842 – 1921), German landowner, politician, rabid nationalist and antisemite. In 1888, he was temporarily jailed for ransacking a newspaper office and his popularity soared, with nationalist marches organized to demand freeing him etc. Likely the person to introduce Führer (”leader") to the nationalist vocabulary. All around a great guy like that. Hitler is said to have been a big fan as a young man.

[25] "Wilhelm should be Emperor!" Wilhelm II (1859 – 1941), the last German Emperor and Austrian nationalists' preferred Habsburg replacement.

[26] "For Heinrich Heine she wants to, here, in Vienna.../...erect a statue!" She really did, except by the time it was finished, the nationalist protests were so widespread there was nowhere to put it. Somehow, and don't ask me how or why, it is now located in Bronx, New York City and known as the Lorelei Fountain.

[27] "The Guard on the Rhine stands proud!" "Die Wacht am Rhein" is a famous patriotic German song, for a while considered something of an unofficial second anthem.

MAYERLING-WALZER

[28] Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria and his 17-year-old lover Baroness Mary Vetsera died on 30 January 1889 in what is widely considered to be a murder-suicide pact, known as the Mayerling Incident. His death caused Franz-Joseph I's nephew, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, to become first in line to the throne of Austro-Hungarian Empire. Franz Ferdinand is perhaps best known as the man whose assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 kickstarted the WWI.

AM DECK DER SINKENDEN WELT

[29] Maximillian I (1832 – 1867) Younger brother of Emperor Franz-Joseph. Accepted Napoleon III's offer to move to Mexico where he declared himself Emperor in 1864 and was executed by firing squad three years later.

[30] Maria von Wittelsbach (1841 - 1925) Elisabeth's younger sister. By all accounts a rather unhappy lady with an equally unhappy marriage.

[31] Ludwig von Wittelsbach (1845 – 1886) Elisabeth's cousin, king of Bavaria. Known as an eccentric with a love for extravagant artistic and architectural projects. Declared insane and deposed in 1886, died under unknown circumstances. Body found floating in a lake near his residence at the time.

[32] Sophie von Wittelsbach (1847 – 1897) Elisabeth's youngest sister, died in a fire of the Bazar de la Charité in Paris, during a charity event.

DER SCHLEIER FÄLLT

[33] Elisabeth, Empress of Austria died on the 10 September 1898 after being fatally stabbed in the heart with a stiletto improvised out of a sharpened needle file. Perhaps thanks to her practice of lacing her corsets very tightly the injury wasn't immediately detected and it took half an hour for her to die. Ironically, first recorded successful treatment of this exact kind of injury was achieved by dr Ludwig Rehn in Frankfurt am Main exactly two years and one day before that date.

...also something I failed to mention in footnotes, but occurs to me not everyone knows: yes, a porcelain tea set with portraits of Franz-Joseph and Elisabeth painted on it was not a very strange item to own. That’s kind of what Kitsch is about XD

Asteroid Files: Agamemnon

Helios on Agamemnon– Have you had one of those days where everything goes wrong and none of it is your fault? And then you burn down an entire city just because your brother’s father’s uncle’s cousin’s former roomate was mad about it too? Well, you might have a friend in this asshat of an asteroid hero…

The Astronomy– 911 Agamemnon is a large Jupiter trojan and a suspected binary asteroid from the Greek camp, approximately 168 kilometers (100 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 19 March 1919, by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at the Heidelberg Observatory in southwest Germany. The dark D-type asteroid is one of the largest Jupiter trojans and has a rotation period of 6.6 hours. It is named after the Greek King Agamemnon, a main character of the Iliad. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 4.9–5.6 AU once every 12 years and 1 month (4,427 days; semi-major axis of 5.28 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.07 and an inclination of 22° with respect to the ecliptic.

The Myth– Agamemnon was a king of Mycenae- the son of King Atreus and Queen Aerope of Mycenae, the brother of Menelaus, the husband of Clytemnestra and the father of Iphigenia, Electra or Laodike, Orestes and Chrysothemis. Agamemnon’s family history had been tarnished by murder, incest, and treachery, consequences of the heinous crime perpetrated by his ancestor, Tantalus, and then of a curse placed upon Pelops, son of Tantalus, by Myrtilus, whom he had murdered. Thus misfortune hounded successive generations of the House of Atreus, until atoned by Orestes in a court of justice held jointly by humans and gods.

When Helen, the wife of Menelaus, was taken to Troy by Paris, Agamemnon commanded the united Greek armed forces in the ensuing Trojan War. Preparing to depart for Troy, Agamemnon’s army incurred the wrath of the goddess Artemis. Misfortunes, including a plague and a lack of wind, prevented the army from sailing. Finally, the prophet Calchas announced that the wrath of the goddess could only be propitiated by the sacrifice of Agamemnon’s daughter Iphigenia. Classical dramatizations differ on how willing either father or daughter was to this fate; some include such trickery as claiming she was to be married to Achilles, but Agamemnon did eventually sacrifice Iphigenia. Her death appeased Artemis, and the Greek army set out for Troy. Several alternatives to the human sacrifice have been presented in Greek mythology. Other sources, such as Iphigenia at Aulis, say that Agamemnon was prepared to kill his daughter, but that Artemis accepted a deer in her place, and whisked her away. Hesiod said she became the goddess Hecate.

Agamemnon was the commander-in-chief of the Greeks during the Trojan War. During the fighting, Agamemnon killed Antiphus and fifteen other Trojan soldiers, according to one source. But in the “Iliad” itself, he’s shown to slaughter hundreds more in Book 11 during his “aristea” loosely translated to “day of glory” which is the most similar to Achilles‘ “aristea” in Book 21 (they both are compared to lions and destructive fires in battle, their hands are described as “splattered with gore” and “invincible,” the Trojans flee to the walls, they both are appealed to by one of their victims, they are both avoided by Hector, they both get wounded in the arm or hand, and they both kill the one who wounded them). Even before his “aristea,” Agamemnon was considered to be one of the three best warriors on the Greek side as proven when Hector challenges any champion of the Greek side to fight him in Book 7, and Agamemnon (along with Diomedes and Big Aias) is one of the three most wished for to face him out of the nine strongest Greek warriors who volunteered. And after they reconciled, even Achilles admits in Book 23 that Agamemnon is “the best in strength and in throwing the spear.” That claim is further proven by the fact that Agamemnon was the only major warrior on either side to never need the gods’ direct intervention to increase his strength or give him any unfair advantages in battle and yet he still caused incredible destruction almost on the scale of Achilles.

The Iliad tells the story about the quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles in the final year of the war. Following one of the Achaean Army’s raids, Chryseis, daughter of Chryses, one of Apollo’s priests, was taken as a war prize by Agamemnon. Chryses pleaded with Agamemnon to free his daughter but was met with little success. Chryses then prayed to Apollo for the safe return of his daughter, which Apollo responded to by unleashing a plague over the Greek Army. After learning from the Prophet Calchas that the plague could be dispelled by returning Chryseis to her father, Agamemnon reluctantly agreed, (but first berated Calchas for previously forcing Agamemnon to sacrifice his daughter (Iphigenia) and released his prize. However, as compensation for his lost prize, Agamemnon demanded a new prize. As a result, Agamemnon stole an attractive slave called Briseis, one of the spoils of war, from Achilles. Achilles, the greatest warrior of the age, withdrew from battle in response to Agamemnon’s action and put the Greek armies at risk of losing the war. Agamemnon, having realized Achilles’s importance in winning the war against the Trojan Army, sent ambassadors begging for Achilles to return, offering him riches and the hand of his daughter in marriage, but Achilles refused, only being spurred back into action when his husband closest friend, Patroclus, was killed in battle.

Although not the equal of Achilles in bravery, Agamemnon was a representative of “kingly authority”. As commander-in-chief, he summoned the princes to the council and led the army in battle. His chief fault was his overwhelming haughtiness; an over-exalted opinion of his position that led him to insult Chryses and Achilles, thereby bringing great disaster upon the Greeks. After the capture of Troy, Cassandra, the doomed prophetess and daughter of Priam, fell to Agamemnon’s lot in the distribution of the prizes of war. After a stormy voyage, Agamemnon and Cassandra either landed in Argolis, or were blown off course and landed in Aegisthus’ country. Clytemnestra, Agamemnon’s wife, had taken Aegisthus, son of Thyestes, as a lover. When Agamemnon came home he was slain by either Aegisthus (in the oldest versions of the story) or Clytemnestra. According to the accounts given by Pindar and the tragedians, Agamemnon was slain in a bath by his wife alone, a blanket of cloth or a net having first been thrown over him to prevent resistance. Clytemnestra also killed Cassandra. Her jealousy of Cassandra, and her wrath at the sacrifice of Iphigenia and at Agamemnon’s having gone to war over Helen of Troy, are said to have been the motives for her crime.

Why He Matters– Where do I even begin with this one… Okay, so before I get too deep into this, let me just preface this by telling you all that the Iliad and the Odyssey were my damn bedtime stories growing up (along with all the other Greek tales of myth and godly buffoonery). As a child I always FUCKING HATED AGAMEMNON. Thought he was a whiny, brash, spolied child. As an adult I still do. So there’s some bias here.

Now. what do we do with this hero of heroes? What role does he play in the chart? For starters, lets just call a spade a spade and give him anger issues, rage, the like. More than that, I kind of feel bad for the guy, he was cursed way before he was born (fucking Tantalus….) so there’s an element of the whole “Sins of the father” trope- but his actions with Iphigenia and at Troy are his own, not his fate. In fact, I would go so far as to say that Agamemnon is a point in which you can defy fate, and overcome anything through sheer force of will alone (that whole bit about not needing divine intervention and still outperforming Achilles, my second favorite Hero…. Very impressive). So there’s something good, I guess. Trouble is, he’s also indicative of where you lose EVERYTHING you care about, and your “overcoming” becomes a Pyrrhic victory at best. Agamemnon is where you have to sacrifice what you are fighting for to win the battle. The question of “You can win, but at what cost?”. He’s a straight up savage, and not in a good way (at least not anymore). Another thing, this asteroid is a point in your chart where you are ALWAYS going to be fighting an uphill battle to be noticed and for recognition for your accomplishments. Beyond that, he’s just an insufferable, cocky asshole (“and petty!”, Achilles shouts from a distance in my subconscious). Wherever you have Agamemnon you will NOT have a happy ending, and its going to be your own damn fault at the end of the day.
