#grimoire AU

[albentelisa]

Hi there! So here is an interesting ask. You remember how Kanjigar and Bular were fighting over the amulet in the first episode?

Well, what if instead of Merlin creating the amulet in this AU, he had created a grimoire that was filled with a list of all magical creatures and how to beat them? The list is self updating and tells you if said creatures are still alive, dead, extinct or sealed away.

The Trollhunter is called the Guardian, and their job is to protect the book at all times.

Anyone who is not a Guardian can only see a blank book, and said book is very temperamental if insulted as Toby found out the hard way when he claimed it was a rip-off book.

An AU with a more strategic approach to fights? Count me in! I'd say that the stronger the creature is the more complicated taking them out is as well. That's the reason why Kanjigar (and all the previous Guardians) couldn't slay Bular. His entry has something along the lines that no troll could slay him. Everyone thought it meant that Bular could be only sealed or detained until Jim arrived and realized that he could possibly do it (as he isn't a troll).

It's more complicated when it comes to Gunmar. His defeat condition is that you need the Eclipse sword (forged from Triumbric stones) wielded by someone who is neither troll nor human and both of those simultaneously (that's where Merlin with his elixir comes into the action).

But before that, Jim and his allies fight against all kinds of creatures (both to protect Arcadia and the grimoire). Claire's shadow magic after she joins proves to be a great help (as it's involved in some defeat conditions). The whole fighting of monsters involves gathering the information (as sometimes they need the name or species), then preparation stages which may involve gathering ingredients, forging specific weapons, or finding the way to lure the creature to the specific destination (and shadow portals simplify the latter a lot).

The grimoire can protect itself by summoning minor creatures and it also summons those to punish those who insult it. The book disliked Toby for a while after that insult, so he got some minor surprises until it forgave him (and Chompsky was initially one of those).

Initially, the grimoire had no information on how to defeat the Arcane Order (as Merlin is the one who compiled it and he had no way to get the knowledge about that one), but with Nimue's help it was updated to include every creature not mentioned before.

“Are you aware of the most beautiful book?”

REVEREND/PRIEST/CULT LEADER! ROOK MAKES A COMEBACK!! May do more stuff with him- also made me really happy that a good chunk of y’all wanted to see more him (like a year ago-)

Definitely not my usual style but I felt like forcing myself to render since I was unsatisfied with my style previously, and this definitely helped- Even forcing me to look up actual references- Even though art is just a hobby now, I still want to improve for the sake of it-

Summary:

‘Alright, fine,’ huffs Wei Ying, blowing out his cheeks. He adjusts his grip on the smooth hilt of the sword, as cold as wet stone beneath his palm. ‘How do I give this back to you?’

‘I must trade with you something of equal worth,’ says the strange man.

‘Uh. Okay.’ Wei Ying rubs his forehead with his free hand. ‘How about your name? Your real name.’ In case he needs to file a police report or stalk this beautiful, scary man on google or something.

The man looks even more angry. He pulls his shoulders back and draws himself to his full height, which is rather impressive and forces Wei Ying to tip his chin up slightly.

‘My name is Lan Zhan,’ the man says.

What will you be, son of Cangse?

~~

‘Him,’ he gasps, glancing over his shoulder at the furious pixie. ‘I’m his, his.’ The pixie narrows her eyes in suspicion. Lan Zhan’s hand settles on Wei Ying’s lower back – possessive and not at all subtle – and drags Wei Ying flat against him. ‘Ah,’ says the pixie, lifting her hands. ‘Forgive me, Jade. I had not known.’

~~~

‘No,’ he whispers. ‘No, Lan Zhan. This is a dark and narrow path. It’s not fair to ask you to walk it with me.’ ‘Hm,’ Lan Zhan rumbles, deep in his throat. He presses his thumb over Wei Ying’s lips. ‘Ask me anyways.’

~~

‘You will always be good, Wei Ying,’ says Lan Zhan, softly as though he is jealous of the wind overhearing. ‘But even if you were not good, even if the whole world were against you, even then, I was always meant for you.’

~~~

in every version of this story, Wei Ying loves Lan Zhan as hopelessly as any creature may yearn for the moon.

Swan Lake AU

Once upon a time...

There lived a noble witch's daughter by the name of Freya. Despite being of noble status, Freya is quite content with the life she currently has: a quaint cottage close to a just as quaint village, friends that she deeply cares for, and lovers who she has been with for the past 2 years. Everything was right as rain...

Until it wasn't.

You see, there were two separate parties who were against this union: the Senate of Briar Valley (who feared Freya's maternal family would gain the power that they did not wish to reach) and the elders within Afterglow Savana (who both did not want their second prince to gain more powerful than his older brother and wanted to keep the neglected second prince under their supervision). Despite being opposing parties, the two teamed up by paying a assassin to kill Freya and Vil.

The assassination was somewhat successful. While the shots were very much life for Vil, it wasn’t for Freya. With the assistance of nearby swan maidens, Freya was able to save Vil’s life and turn the two of them both into swan maidens to lay low.

But their story is far from over...

i just draw something and then build context around it that’s the process

[altocat]

would Sephiroth have been better off with his grandparents (on either side)

Sephiroth would not have liked his maternal grandparents (or in this case, his maternal grandma) at all. Lucrecia never had a good relationship with her mother and Sephiroth would have easily picked up on the ugly, resentful feelings permeating around the room just in being around the older woman. He would have been very bitter towards her, and probably would have blamed her for Lucrecia's flaws as a person (despite Lucrecia's flaws being her own).

As for Hojo's parents, Sephiroth would have liked them. Hojo cut them out so there was really no way for them to have ever met. But Sephiroth would have taken to them very well, especially since they would be preferable to living with Hojo.

BONUS: Sephiroth would have ADORED Grimoire and would have hung around him constantly. And maybe would have even followed in Grimoire's footsteps to study properties of Chaos and Omega.

Nevermind, I just read your info page about the Magic Items the brothers have. If it was the necklace, then you would've put it on the page.

Yup, the necklace isn't a Mark, just a magical item (although a powerful one). It used to belong to Ireland when he was a kid, but he gave it to North when he officially left the Union.

North doesn't know it yet, but that necklace he likes to fidget with is actually packed with protection spells. It's Ireland's way to indirectly keep North safe, all while keeping his distance.

I don't know how long I can keep doing this for. The nightmares are getting more real each time I fall asleep. She keeps taunting me, constantly telling me I failed. But I know she's alive somewhere. I just need to keep going. Keep searching. I can't stop until I find some progress on the cure. Please. Someone help me.

Signing off, Rex. CW For bugs
