You're the risk I want to take - Chapter 4

14:54 JustWille: Hey! I’m really sorry but I’m running a bit late. I’ll be there as soon as possible Simme.eriksson: That’s okay! I’m here already, I’ll get us a table Simme.eriksson: Do you want me to order anything for you? JustWille: Can you get me a green tea? Simme.eriksson: coming right up! JustWille: thank you!! JustWille: see you soon ❤️ Simme.eriksson: Can’t wait❤️

OR: Wille and Simon meet.

Read chapter 4 on ao3, or start from the beginning! (Completed, 4/4, M)

I can't believe I'm posting this but... here it is! Chapter 4! This story has been such a whirldwind, and I would make it long and sappy but also I am late for dinner.

Enjoy!

Research for an au fic I’m working on: how would Azula act and behave in a modern setting? And I don’t mean re-imagine her character within a modern context and stories. This isn’t Azula, but she’s an overachieving American high schooler with strict and overbearing parents, or Azula, but she’s the soon-to-be CEO of her father’s multinational conglomerate based in Japan or something. No, I mean how would Azula as she is in canon, Fire nation princess and all, act and behave if you simply just took her from her world and plopped her into [insert current year you’re reading this]?

Remember the List of Thing Found in Mors' Desks? We should do the Royal Archive version.

First thing on the List: a series of letters from Lady Carmen Amicitia to Princess-then-King Lucia Luci's Caelum. (R-rated, never to be published in any scientific journal.)

Ohhh, what a fun idea!

R-rated love letter from Lady Carmen Amicitia to then Princess Lucia Lucis Caelum

at least three human skulls, one of which got decorated with jewels

way too many human finger bones to be comfortable

a poem about how nice Lord Lumen Scientia's ass was (author unknown, dated to around 270 years back)

building plans of Insomnia from Fabricas Lucis Caelum which had been thought lost (She was the 41st King of Lucis and planned the building of what would develop to be the outer wall of Insomnia. Most of her plans, including the ones found are very... out there.)

a construction plan and manual for something which is written in Sol (Later translated. It's a contruct for light effects for theater productions. Some people got very excited at first because they thought it was a weapon.)

a statuette of the Oracle King depicted as a woman (Oracle King is amab, though I headcanon she was trans. The statuette was a present from her Shield.)

the grave of a Lucian King (no one is quite sure whose it is yet)

Can't think of much else right now, though y'all are welcome to add to the list!

idea: that one scene in twisted: the untold story of a royal vizier, where the princess poisons jafar’s wine to get his attention but it’s elias and melanie

[jewishicequeen]

Shallan Davar, a royal.

Why, why wouldn’t she be?

And who’s this Veil you mentioned?

I have Ever After High brainrot and it’s bad.

Anyway. Shallan’s destined to follow her mother’s footsteps, and she’s very happy to do so! She have no reason to not sign the book, why would you ask, that’s ridiculous. What’s her story about? Mmm… why don’t we change the Subject?

Veil’s the daughter of the girl who looked up, or so she claims at least, but the keen of eye would notice the role she takes is closer to that of the wall in the story. Oh well. A destiny’s a destiny. No one can change it, can they?

15 days ago :

...

Two weeks is "long" enough not to be called soon, right??

So in that run, Alain repaired a bridge and crossed it, under his advisor's stern and despaired glare, and we saw a horrible cutscene with evil!Scarlett now going on by the name of Norbelle.

But since I couldn't be assed to grind to, well, play the final map, I just unlocked the cutscene and then went on my way to rescue Scarlett before she turns "evil".

@megafan1993 : iirc you theorised in a comment that maybe angel people can't be Zenoira'd like the bestrals because we don't see any zenoira'd angel in Albion? Given how Scarlett's line is basically an "angel experiment" that went right (like she got magic mc guffin powers instead of sprouting wings) Norbelle's here to tell us that she could be hijacked... even if I checked on YT videos and apparently it's bit more weird, like Norbelle says she was channeled in this body when Scarlett's soul left, but when we defeat Norbelle Scarlett's still here somehow asking Alain to live?

Anyways, wanting to continue on my "get cutscenes I didn't get in the first round", but being too much of a chicken to execute then Cornian recruits (:'( ) I decided to have Alain talk to Gilbert from the South in the final Drakengard map - and now instead of having them talk, Gilbert apparently remembers having talked to us?

Virginia being all "maybe you should talk to Aramis and ask him to reassure his brother about his role and status as the King", well, nope. Just like she told Alain, when we first met Berengaria, that their family matter was something between them and not for us to intervene, Alain went with something like "it's not for us to intervene in Drakengard's royal affairs" or something.

Which had her be a bit pissed, but she ultimately gives up because that's Alain's decision, and he is the leader of the army. So instead of talking to his brother, Gilbert faces his father's throne with doubts and his armored adviser (Hermann) tells him not to worry, and how everyone supports him even if his brother - who hasn't been confirmed to be dead yet - has a better claim to the throne.

However, given how he still has doubts and voices them to the Cornians - after Virginia asked him to "speak his mind" or something - and says he would rather join the Liberation Army, but defuses the situation by pretending it's a joke... well, let's say this plot point is left in the air.

(but it could make for a nice plotbunny in a fic : what if Gilbert later learns that his brother is still with the LA and how Alain and Virginia both kept that info for him? Marriage or not, I doubt he's going to be chummy with the Cornian royals, especially if he believes they kept that info from him to have some sort of leverage against his crown/rule by threatening him to reveal Ludwig's existence to the world and thus directly challenge his legitimacy... - what a clusterfuck this decision of "letting them deal with their family matters on their own" would create lol)

But he swore he will be assisting us in the last battle!

I don't think there are any other "meaningful choices" after Drakengard, maybe I'll kill Bertrand (:'() in Bastorias to get that entry on the archive ?

I would really love it if everyone checked out the first two chapters of my fanfic.

It begins in 1993. Its a Hogwarts William/Catherine SLOW BURN (I mean that in every sense....you’re in for a ride!) 

Any shares, comments/kudos would be nice. :)

[man-of-masks]

You're the risk I want to take - Chapter 3

00:01 Simme.eriksson: Happy new year! Are the fireworks pretty there? JustWille: they would be prettier if you were here Heat rises up on Simon’s cheeks, and he’s thankful for the low light so his friends (hopefully) won’t be able to see him blush. JustWille: But happy new year ❤️ Or: Simon wants more. A lot more. The question is, does Wille?

Read chapter 3 on ao3, or start from the beginning! (WIP, part 3/4, M, also the chapter that earned it its M rating)

It's here!!! The third (and penultimate) chapter of You're the risk I want to take, and it's a fun one! (If i say so myself hihi)

For the blinded history au, who is the first person to suggest checking the Royal Archives for information about the Conqueror's trip to Galahd?

That would be Regis.

He sends an inquiry to the head archivist and she starts to check the catalogues. In the catalogues they have logged every book, scroll and scrap of parchement that has been scanned and sorted.

The head archivist doesn't find anything in the catalogues.

Thing is, a large part of the archives hasn't been catalogued.

"Why not?" you ask? Well, because the funds weren't there. After all, why put money into dusty old books no one even knows how to read anymore (because the older the texts get, the more they are written in Sol)?

There actually are a series of letters and at least one contemporary account detailing roughly what happened buried in the archives. The question is just, can they find them?
