The Witch's Daughter, Frederick Stuart Church, 1881

so for the witches daughter au, i had an idea how chloe and adrian are still friends, Gabe, Emilie and Natalie find a dangerous magic object the kind the is very much the "do not mess with this at all" kind and bring it to Ariel to contain, while there meeting, a toddler Adrian meets and little chloe and a friendship is formed.

Honestly I'm just imagining that everything gets sidestepped because Ariel would see that Emilie got her shit rocked by a broken Miraculous before her condition goes to far and would have more direct ability to help her

Ranni has every reason to hate Marika. She is the figurehead of an order that has caused her and her family so much misery… and yet, in the Age of the Stars ending cutscene, Ranni holds Marika’s head with such gentleness. It feels less like Ranni is putting down a tyrant, and more like she’s laying her to rest, after many long years of torment. 

Ranni could have been Marika’s successor, but she rejected the guidance of the Two Fingers, slaying her own flesh in order to be rid of their influence: 

“But I would not acquiesce to the Two Fingers. I stole the Rune of Death, slew mine own Empyrean flesh, casting it away. I would not be controlled by that thing.”

Ranni goes to such drastic lengths because the most intolerable thing possible to her is to be a pawn; her will not being her own, but being at the mercy of a higher power. Ranni’s quest is above all about free will – it culminates with Ranni using the Fingerslayer Blade to tear her Two Fingers into bloody ribbons, at long last giving her full control over her own destiny.

Marika in the present day is a prisoner held in perpetual torment. According to Enia and the Two Fingers,

"Queen Marika is the vessel of the Elden Ring, carrier of its vision. A god, in truth. But after the Elden Ring's shattering, she was imprisoned in the Erdtree. A grim punishment for shattering the Order, despite her godhood. The Fingers speak... "Marika's trespass demanded a heavy sentence. But even in shackles, she remains a god, and the vision's vessel.”

Marika shattered the Order, going against the will of the Two Fingers, and was punished for it gravely. In many ways, Marika’s fate is Ranni’s absolute worst nightmare. This is exactly the fate she took such drastic lengths to escape… serving a higher power with her entire being, her will not her own, but the will of the Fingers, with any attempt at change met with violent suppression, her body essentially being used as a puppet to defend the last vestiges of the Order.

“I would not be controlled by that thing.”

I think that Ranni, seeing Marika’s broken body at the end of it all, felt nothing but pity for her in that moment, despite everything she’d done. To me, the act of Ranni holding Marika’s head in her hands feels like she’s saying, “you were my enemy. But there is no worse fate in this world than what you suffered. Now, you can be truly free."

so i think i will cal this au "the witches daughter" so ya, chloe gets raise be Ariel, Guy And Doc (and Wolfe depending on when she starts dating Ariel), Chloe learns magic, cooking and aiming from the trio, so when get to start of season one, she isn;t the bully, she;s the school cryptid who has a weird amount of random skills.

I could see her like. She's the 'I don't realize I'm being mean' type of bully. She says things bluntly forgetting to take feeling into account and is a little morally dubious to get her way, which leads to people assuming she's a jerk.

The Targaryen Witch (Prologue)

Rhaenyra Targaryen gave birth to her first and eldest daughter, but her daughter it’s like any other Targaryen children as she has magical powers through her veins.

Warnings: giving birth,

Rhaenyra was in labor for hours and hours as she laid on the bed as the maiden gathered around her as they helped her get the babe out.

But as Rhaenyra gave birth her stomach began to glow a red color as everyone in the room with her were in shock but still continue to get the little babe out.

Screams and yells were heard all throughout the hallways of kings landing especially where her father and step mother were. They had heard from the misters about Rhaenyra stomach glowing a red as she was in labor as her father was worried about her as he was afraid of losing her to childbirth like his first wife. 

But a couple hours later the babe was finally out as the babies cries filled the room as Rhaenyra held the little infant in her arms. The babe girl didn’t really look a whole lot like her mother other than the features on her face. But the babe hair was a red color that arrival any other red though out the kingdoms, surprisedly the babe did have her mother’s eyes as well as the where a gorgeous violet.

“She’s adorable!” One of the maiden awed as she looked at the babe.

Soon after king Viserys was able to see his granddaughter.
