For a painful soulamte au, what if the Dawn Knight was Lilias soulmate? And to make it more painful what if Dawn knew that Lilia was his soulmate somehow and still went to war with the fae because he couldn't stand to go against the family who raised him

Not a soul knew, except for Leia.

Leia knew because she knew everything about him— the leash of loyalty around his neck, the weight of despair upon his shoulders, the mark of his soulmate tattooed like a harbinger on the inside of his wrist.

Leia knew, and loved him for it all the same.

You are a knight, she would remind him on those moonless nights, delicate features as solemn as a saint as she laid her hands against the haunted hollows of his face, as merciful and sweet as her namesake. You are the only one out of them all who has the right to call himself so. What greater sacrifice have you given to my father, to our family, than the cost of love?

He loved her, too.

Her effortless charm and wit were always happy to fill his awkward and stoic silences, and she never shamed him for his reserved nature. She was a princess, born and raised to be a queen, and it sat right inside his heart that she should realize such a vision. Her kindness to their people, her kindness to her traitor of a knight— too kind, to allow him even into her arms and bed when his nerves fail him and the shadows creep in.

It's what he feels, when he places his hand on the swell of her gown, the gentle life growing inside of her: their child, steeped in kindness.

A tragic beginning that can only lead to a tragic end.

Leia is the only kindness that he's ever known, and the irony is not lost on him that she is not his soulmate, nor is he her own. She does not speak of the mark blurred and faded on her skin, and she does not press him for explanation when he disrobes for her and only her, and the bat in flight unfurls its wings upon his wrist.

She does not need to, for they both know whose standard he bears, whose symbol lays a claim that would spell betrayal and doom for his fate.

He lies there within the shelter of her embrace, her slim fingers weaving through his golden hair, and he wonders what manner of mark lies on the fae general's wrist. He wonders if it is of a gleaming sword raised to strike, or a loathsome owl, talons curled, both prepared to rid the fae of his heart and gift it to the enemy's feet. It must not be obvious, because the fae has never reacted to his presence beyond the expected vitriol to their immoral crusade. And each time that they meet, the gratitude of a coward lances through his veins for the sake of the helmet obscuring his expression— it is your eyes that give you away, Leia had murmured to him, her own dark and forgiving as they glitter in the candlelight. Your truest emotions lie within them, crystal clear and as unclouded as the brightest dawn.

He does not deserve her unshakeable belief, for he feels like the muddiest of waters, choked with debris and tainted by waste.

He does not deserve her, and as he clutches at his wrist in the night, nails all but digging into the taut flesh as if to pull the bat from his skin—

He knows that he does not deserve the general either.

Kotallo leans on his remaining arm as he considers the battle map projected on the metal table. He'd planned to map out both Zenith and Regalla's activities in order to gain insight in their next move. Normally, Kotallo loves the stretch of strategy, the way clues fall together so that he may prime his attack to kill.

Not today.

His mind does not seem to want to cooperate with his plans for the day. Instead, it wanders onto the subject of his commander. Commanders. Both commanders.

He’d been at Chief Hekarro’s side since almost the beginning of the Chief's glory. Out of the current Marshals, he had the most seniority. Even before the ambush, Kotallo was the one who knew Hekarro-the-Chief best. From the first Kulrut until now, Kotallo’s learned many things about his role as a Marshal… and about his commanding officer’s role as a leader.

Kotallo admired the man, then and now, both for his gift for combat and his goal of peace despite of the glory he could have had. Or, perhaps his goal of peace is because he knows what combat and conflict brings. Glory... and suffering.

Though, Kotallo supposes the position of Chief and Guardian of the Grove is glorious enough.

What Kotallo truly admires, however, is the way his commander handled the weight of leadership.

Far from prying eyes, Kotallo watched as Hekarro allowed himself to bend under the weight of handling the clans. Kotallo does not judge. If it was him handling Tekotteh, let alone the rest of the clans and the Carja, the clans would most likely have been decimated. Yet, Hekarro leads with both strength and patience, yielding and standing firm when necessary. Then, in his private moments, with or without his Marshals, he allows himself a small moment of weakness, of rest. Of bending beneath the weight of responsibility.

But Hekarro did not- does not- allow it to break him. He bends. He hangs his head, heavy and aching from his crown, and slumps against the plant covered walls of the Grove. And then he gets back up.

When Hekarro has had his time to process, Kotallo watched him pull back his shoulders and settle back into the mantle of leader. Kotallo watched as Hekarro lined his spine once more of machine metal and rouse strength to his posture in order to keep going. To keep moving, to stand up when all is weighing you down is true strength. To deny the temptation of rest in order to protect and fight is something everyone struggles with. It is a hard lesson, to learn with grace. Kotallo has learned and learned well. It is a strength that Chief Hekarro possesses. It is the kind of true strength that the Ten were known for.

And that is the driving force of Kotallo's loyalty. Yes, Hekarro took him in when his clan casted him out- exile hidden behind a veneer of honor- and that had netted Kotallo's service. Yet it is the kindness, the solid sight of the back of his chief as he protected the clans from enemies and themselves, and the steel that lines his spine as he cuts enemies down is what secures Kotallo's unwavering loyalty. It is what secures his return, it is why he allowed himself once more to be a spear to be pointed.

Aloy, too, has the same grit and sheer will behind her every move. The same ability to bend the world to her commands, to her beliefs. Her battle seems never ending. Kotallo respects that. She fights like she's been taught nothing else in her life. She, as Erend would say, kicks ass. She kicks everyone's ass, the enemy's, his own, machine ass. She even, Kotallo thinks as he tips his head upwards to hide his smirk, kicks her own ass.

But... She fights like Tenakth. Something he did not expect to find in the reclusive Nora. Soft, he had thought those from the east.

Aloy had proved him, and everyone else who had ever doubted her, wrong. She proved a whole clan wrong, when she tore the Bulwark down with the ease of someone who's pulled off the impossible so many times that 'impossible' only means 'harder'. Hair like fire, heart like hearth, fight like a blaze. Firestorm. Aloy, who is easy-going (not that he can say much, Kotallo knows he's anti-social even amongst other Tenakth) until she isn't. Calm, unsuspecting, until she isn't. People tend to underestimate her. They see the colors of the Nora, the soft, deer-like pelts she wears, and think that is everything she is and will ever be. Until she slits their throat with a skilled hand and a sharp blade. Until she destroys the wall his clan had believed unbreachable for centuries and essentially slapped Tekkoteh's face with... a boulder. Multiple boulders. Aloy spat in the face of doubt and took out its knees with her spear.

His new commander has a penchant for the impossible.

Then again, people had said uniting the Tenakth was impossible and Hekarro pulled that off too.

Kotallo glances away from the map, eyes still adjusting to the focus hub of information. He looks at the schematics for an arm, a strange mixture reluctance and hope swirling at the pit of his gut.

Perhaps Aloy would be amenable to performing another minor miracle...?

It’s always good to remember that while these motherfuckers are brilliant actors and storytellers, they are At Their Core still a DnD party who will drift wildly in and out of character as they frantically come up with a half dozen half-assed plans to save the world that they will almost certainly abandon as soon as shit pops off

#critical role #bells hells #c3 Spoilers #critical role c3 #c3e50 #c3 #listen I love them but at their core they are always operating at a level of at Dawn we plan

[ziracona]

I will never forget the way in 2016 when we started Until Dawn, my little brother and I just, immediately after the prologue assumed it was gonna be Josh, and that he was legitimately killing his former friends for killing his sisters, and both in unison went “Oh worm. I’d do that too. ✊😔 Poor guy. Anyway it’s too late for most of them, but Chris didn’t do anything, and Sam tried to help, so I think we have a good shot at saving those two. Let’s focus that.”

#sibling to sibling psychic judgement agreement. so funny because he and I are so different but for one moment we were one and it was going #‘yeah if my friends humiliated and then got Meg killed and didn’t even have that ruin their lives I 100% would construct an elaborate plan #to destroy them after snapping who can blame the guy?’ god love him (my brother. but also Josh) #until dawn #we were so ready to forgive him for so much more

[anauro]

me after a casual fic conversation with @soliloquy-dawn 🙃

#you all ain’t ready for what we have planned #Dawn’s an enabler #and a good one too

[clarichoupie]

No because these two scenes are so similar! Our two golden couples... at their worst! Yeah! ^^

And this is also why Ashley and Jason are my favorite characters...

Love betrayal! ...a classic.♡

(I also made this post to show that basically Chrashley and Jalim have the exact same dynamic.^^)

#until dawn #house of ashes #supermassive games #the dark pictures anthology #ashley brown #chris hartley #ashley/chris #Chrashley #jason kolchek #salim othman #jason/salim #jalim #Let's pretend that this scene from house of ashes can't happen shall we? #And spoilers!!! #My god I still can't believe how violent they made Chris' death #This poor guy got shredded! ...too bad for him #The worst thing is that afterwards you can find the body of this poor little angel with Josh! #Without him knowing that his plan has indirectly caused the death of his best friend instead of reuniting him with his crush #God this game can be cruel... That's why it's my comfort game of course! ^^

The Damn Book is up to 10k edited which is about 10% which is GREAT, but even more importantly, I have RESTRUCTURED THE FUCKER which means I should be able to proceed a lot more clearly.

#it may still get restructured again depending on how I decide to do one particular bit BUT #I am able to proceed with my plan of starting from the end and working backward #for the record it is only 'the damn book' cuz I hate editing. not cuz I don't like the story. I LOVE the story. I just fucking hate editing #and now I am done for the night cuz I have a bit of a migraine and I'm gonna have some dessert and probably read a bit. #and then REATTACK AT DAWN #(not actually at dawn.) #unfortunately the remaining 90% does involve heavy rewriting. which will not go as quickly as today went. #NEVERTHELESS I AM COMMITTED. #I'm gonna try to get through 5k of the last act tomorrow. we shall see if it happens. #but then that would put that act at about 50% done which would be DOPE #megs is writing
