May nahalungkat akong old elibarra fanfic, written in full bekimon circa 2014. Not sure if people still read el noli fics, but that never stopped me from writing! Post ko some day. Need ulit mag-ingay sa panitikandoms! And of course, need din dagdagan ng sapphic works for el noli. Sayang naman mga marsinang/ marisisa/ sisalome/ belpeps/ julita ko!!!!

was anybody going to tell me that not only is Maria Clara (and most likely Ibarra as well) 21 in Noli, but also that Elias is probably no older than twenty-five himself??? or was I just supposed to realize that at 4:30 PM on a Monday myself??

#noli me tangere #maria clara de los santos #crisostomo ibarra #nmt elias #el nolibusterismo #nmt #el noli #which implies A NUMBER OF THINGS #first of all: somebody call an adult #both main characters of both books are children #second of all: you mean to say that simoun has a full head of white hair at THIRTY-FOUR? #i mean even if he IS older than maria clara by a bit he'd still be in his thirties

sorry, this doesn't have anything to do with the story - just letting you know that I love this concept so much and really want to see where it goes!! (I'd definitely read it in a novel format too)

Hey there, anon! I haven't touched this blog in over a year, so it's nice to hear people are still reading it.

This story won't be finished any time soon, and when I do work on it again it'll probably take a different format. That being said, I do want to spill the beans on what I have planned.

More under the cut.

Here are some cast profiles:

Aurelio de los Santos: A Europe-educated freethinker and heir to the wealthy de los Santos family. Returned to the town of San Diego to manage the affairs of his late father Capitan Tiago. Has an astute sense of business, but his sharp tongue can get him into trouble. Real name: Maria Clara.

Sisang Baliw: The town's local kook, always talking in rhyme or singing a mysterious lullaby. Many fear her for her supposed knowledge of the dark shamanic arts, although people like Aurelio still come to her for her advice. Isn't actually insane, and is just doing it so the townspeople leave her and her kids alone.

Salome: A long-serving maid of the de los Santos household and Aurelio's close friend. Has a magical amulet (anting-anting) that allows her to turn into a man and perform miraculous feats of strength, as well as become invisible. Always has Aurelio's back.

Dra. Torina: A charlatan doctor moving around in Manila's high society circles. Thanks to her charm and eloquence, she can easily scam her patients into paying vast amounts of money for her services.

Paulita Gomez: An art-loving socialite and Dra. Torina's niece. She aims to establish a night school for women in her hometown, and is currently gathering funds and connections for such an endeavor.

Dimasupil, the Bandit Queen: The leader of a horde of bandits headquartered in the mountains of Laguna. Lost her father and brother to the cruelty of the guardia civil. Routinely conducts raids on rich towns in the area. Real name: Lucia de Dios.

Jacinta del Fuego: A beautiful painter from Cuba with a mysterious past. Acts as the adviser of the current Governor-General, and is making a splash among Manila's elite due to her exquisite portraits. Is actually Maria Clara, back for vengeance after all the suffering she endured thirteen years ago.

Some additional thoughts on this AU:

Its climax is the same as El Fili's: a bomb at Juanito and Paulita's wedding reception. Instead of revenge, it's Maria Clara's final act of spite; she has no intention of escaping the explosion. I imagined this to be the logical extension of the self-destructive tendencies we see in Maria Clara in Noli canon - after all, in the epilogue chapter she almost jumps off the tower of the Sta. Clara convent.

With Aurelio and Salome in particular, I wanted them to have a closer relationship than Ibarra and Elias. They've known each other for a long time. I also wanted them to be similar to each other - Aurelio lives disguised as a man, while Salome literally turns into one using her amulet (this is a reference to Nagmalitung Yawa of the Hinilawod story). Something something becoming a man is necessary for them to operate. I feel like I'm not articulate enough to communicate/tackle this theme just yet.

At the end of the first half of the story, Maria Clara sheds her Aurelio persona and instead turns into Jacinta del Fuego. (Funnily enough, she never actually goes by Maria Clara in this AU.) I wanted Jacinta to somewhat contrast Simoun - while Simoun is lowkey and works behind the scenes, Jacinta steals the spotlight, hiding her plans in plain sight. How could anyone ever suspect the eccentric, loony foreign painter, right? I imagine Jacinta to be in a bright red dress with floral designs.

As a final thought, I think what I struggle with is trying to come up with a story that has AU!Salome as her own character, trying to reinterpret what we see of her in the Noli canon while also finding ways to give her a role similar to Elias. Ditto for Maria Clara and the others.

That's it for my ramble. Hope you enjoyed reading!

Doña Maria Clara's eyes cloud over with literal darkness. Her expression belies the bitterness built up over the years.

"I see the infinitely-branching rivers of fate. I see the Bakunawa's coils, time spiraling off them. I see that in no reality can I be happy. I see everything. Everywhere. All. At. Once."
