Embrose: We are still working on filling the vacancies left after the invasion, would you be willing to step in for some Silverquill classes in addition to Witherbloom?

Liliana: Of course.

--

Liliana, stepping into class: Hello students, my name is Professor Vess and I will be taking over your Magical Contracts 101 class for the next few weeks. Here's lesson number one— not every problem in your life can be solved with a magical contract. Sometimes you'll need to rely on good old murder.

Student, raising their hand: That's.. Not on the assigned curriculum, professor.

Liliana: Well, it should be.

Embrose: "Son, we have survived the phyrexian invasion. I hear it could not have been done had you not cast the founder's spell. I am proud of you."

Killian, making a gun out of ink: "The real Embrose Lu would never show an emotion in front of me."

Part two of the Liliana x Embrose fic but from her perspective and obviously embrose (not gonna be as poetic but I'll try) also anything in () is once again the raven man.

Tw: attempted suicide

Pov Liliana

"shut up shut up" Liliana started yelling while holding her hands over her ears. ("Why should I? I'm telling you the truth Lili, he doesn't love you") the raven man replied maliciously. Using her own insecurity against her. Liliana after dealing with him saying this for hours. Almost torturing her with the fact that her life at the current moment could be a lie. She replied with "he does" but each time sounded less and less confident her mind turning on her the more she heard the raven man's words. Finally he said something different. (" Go to the roof and just jump at this point, you already know the harm you've done").

Pov Embrose

walking up to Liliana's office door he heard her talking to someone and she started yelling. Panicked he started knocking on the door thinking she was in danger or something like that noticing it was locked and hearing another but very quiet voice in there with hers. Hearing them tell Liliana to jump. He definitely figured out something was terribly wrong and busted open the door to see Liliana on the small balcony

Pov Liliana

Walking toward the balcony she's thinking to herself ' maybe he'll finally leave me alone. I might finally be able to repay all that I've done'. As she gets on to the balcony about to step over the railing she see's Embrose break through her door and come running out towards her but stops short noticing how close she is too the edge "Liliana there is no me without you" Liliana heard embrose say. Not believing him and the Raven man whispering something along the lines of ("Lili just jump you're a failure") she moved closer to the edge.

Pov Embrose

Noticing she didn't react or seem to listen to what i said. I panic because in this very moment with one wrong move and i could loose her. I yelled " Love listen I'm talking to you" . Seeing her flinch from the yelling broke my heart but she moved away from the edge and looked at me.

Pov Liliana

Hearing yelling i backed away from the edge and looked directly at embrose and for a moment I see concern in his eyes and then I'm pulled into my head again by the raven man. ("Lili just jump you dense woman") he yells and I back away and more towards the edge. "I don't know who to believe at this point " she yelled getting closer to the edge and everything sounding muffled. All she could hear is embrose and the Raven man arguing about no one asking for his opinion

Pov Embrose

"Liliana please" i beg tears forming in my eyes at this point. "We can talk about this please tell me what's wrong". She doesn't reply. I can't loose her again. I step forward and open my arms for her even though I know she won't budge or come closer but to my surprise she does.

Pov Liliana

Hearing Embrose begging and seeing tears finally snapped me out of it. The raven man keeps yelling for me to jump. I manage to block him out long enough. At least to go towards Embrose and he looked suprise that i did. But he also looked relieved. Feeling his arms wrap around me. "I'm sorry I'm so sorry" i managed to say before bursting into sobs. He says "shh sh it's ok love I've got you"

Sorry for the late post

And for it moving quickly

B A C E! Have you heard of the new Liliana ship?! Dean Embrose Lu x Liliana Vess, and if you have..what do you think about it?

Also, thank you for the beautiful Jaciana art..it feeds my soul❤️

She knocked that old man up for real

#also you're welcome lmao #there may be more in the future who knows ;)

I made a playlist for Liliana Vess, specifically her character from the perspective of after War of the Spark, concerning her state of grief with Gideon, and her eventual healing on Strixhaven

For a bit more context, I an a bit of a fan of the Liliana x Embrose Lu theory, and think that their dynamic, especially with Killian being her estranged son, would be a really interesting story to tell. So, thats the reason for a couple of the songs there.

I think Liliana is a really interesting and engaging character and think that a lot more can still be done with her story, especially now after the Phyrexian invasion, and I hope we see her again soon in the story.

“I see the oil did you no favors.”

Killian’s prose formed a spell and shot out like a fireball, only to bounce harmlessly off the Phyrexian’s magic shield. Rather than retaliate, however, the compleated professor merely uttered a mechanical laugh from behind the wall of light.

“What’s the matter, Mr. Lu? You made a spell - from scratch - to bring me back to…life…? Well, anyways, and now you can’t even break a simple shield spell?”

The Silverquill student panted from exhaustion, yet the Phyrexian showed no such signs of flagging. Slowly, Killian slumped to his knees, and the professor approached.

“Go ahead, Miss Svetlana,” Killian sighed. “Let me have it.”

“As you wish, Mr. Lu.”

Svetlana leaned down and pointed to Killian’s hunched posture.

“As per usual, the problem is with your stance. Show it to me, if you would, please.”

With a tired grunt, Killian pulled himself to his feet and adopted a combat stance. Svetlana tsked at his form and waggled a finger, along with several metallic tendrils tipped with glowing eyes.

“You slouch. Likely a habit brought about by long-term close proximity to-”

“I know,” Killian growled. “I’ll work on it, as quick as I can.”

Svetlana uttered a staticky laugh. “Please, Mr. Lu. With me as I am, I think we have all the time in the world to practice. And besides, it is the least I can do for you as thanks for…reactivating me? That sounds right, I think. Though, I must ask: why reactivate me in the first place? Surely you didn’t know I was friendly?”

“Zimone actually told me,” Killian sighed. “But more than that…it just didn’t feel fair. You…and Dean Shaile…and pretty much all the other faculty, all of whom were always there for me and my friends, got turned into these…Phyrexians. And my father didn’t.”

Svetlana nodded wryly. “Mr. Lu, while I cannot say I feel nearly as negatively about my ‘condition’ as you do, I can say that you have my full sympathy for your tense relationship with Dean Embrose. And, while I do not know how to resolve that conflict, I believe I at least have an idea for how to include him in our training. Perhaps this could allow you two to talk some things out?”

“Couldn’t hurt,” Killian shrugged. “What did you have in mind?”

Svetlana smirked.

“Perhaps you might learn better from watching.”

—

“Even as a Phyrexian, you are- ACK!”

Dean Embrose cried out as a metal eyestalk slapped him across the face, harming him little but still disrupting his spell. Svetlana continued her relatively harmless assault, keeping Embrose distracted as Killian watched intently.

“You see, Mr. Lu? Even when under duress, your father’s posture is impeccable.”

While Killian nodded enthusiastically, Embrose growled at the Phyrexian, and began preparing another spell. “So, you’re teaching my son?” spat the dean.

“The least I could do. He saved me.”

“Hmph…With how you’re handling me right now, I believe he’s in good hands.”

Svetlana fixed Embrose with a mocking smirk. “Perhaps I could teach you a thing or two while we’re at it.”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself.”

[faerie--macabre]

Sleep evades her despite the exhaustion that still lingers. Instead all she can do is stare down at the slumbering lump in her arms. In truth she shouldn't be holding him, shouldn't start forging a bond that will never flourish since she plans to leave as soon as possible. Yet here in her arms is the son that's given her a hellish nine months. Silently he lays atop her bosom, little fists clenched up and tufts of dark, raven hair sticking up in all directions.

The fact he lives is serendipitous. Because quite easily she could have snuffed out his existence long before now. But she didn't. If anything, Embrose should thank her for giving him an heir, one that's guaranteed for something great. "You're a Vess afterall." Liliana murmurs, fingers stroking the child's back with featherlight touches.

Continuing the bloodline was something she was never interested in. In her girlhood, at the age of seventeen, she was so relieved to have her apprenticeship with the healer of Vess Manor, Lady Anna. What was meant to be a punishment was in some ways a salvation. Of course the apprenticeship came with its own frustrations, yet; Liliana would much rather be elbow deep in innards, cleaning pus dripping wounds and listen to the dying cries of soldiers than deal with grubby little hands tugging at her skirts, shepherding rowdy youngsters and having a child on her hip near constantly. She'd happily stomp through the swamp collecting herbs if it meant not having to play nanny to her cousins and younger sisters.

That sentiment still prevails when she gazes down at her son. He's been quiet so far; calm while looking up at her with big brown eyes almost in adoration. Unfortunately there is no spark of that maternal feeling so often talked about. There's a possessive feeling that's lingered when a nurse comes to close. But it's less in a mother bear shielding a cub sort of way and more of in the way of owning an item --- an artifact or expensive bottle of liquor. And bless his tiny heart, he deserves actual care. That'll be Embrose's burden to handle.

Just when she's starting to get sentimental, a thought creeps up in her mind. Her son may live now but more than likely Liliana will outlive him by a long shot. While she is not fully immortal, she needs not worry about aging. Time is hers. Killian, the blood of her body and flesh of her soul, does not have the same advantage. There will come a day when he's rotting in the ground while she still walks the planes. Something about that thought makes her sick in her stomach.

Hastily it's pushed away. There's no need to linger on such trivial matters. Once she's gone, she's gone; never to return or seek him out. Her time on Arcavios is up. She has a life to live as does he and certainly as does Embrose.

Embrose...he'll be here in the morning. Liliana needs to prepare to drag herself back to Innistrad. She had considered sticking around for another day or two however, that might be problematic in the long run.

A soft yawn catches her attention. The tiny creature now looks up at her. Gently Liliana shuffles him so the two are pretty much face to face. "You will be the greatest curse I can bestow upon your father." It's a jest said softly, with more mischief than malice. The babe laughs as if he could understand every word she's saying. "Yes, you should give him as much hell as you have given me." That earns her the honor of his tiny hands splaying across her cheeks and what one can interpret as a kiss placed on the tip of her nose (though really it's more the equivalent to a nibble).

Her heart skips a beat. For a split second she reconsiders her plan to make a speedy escape. Guilt starts to creep up and that, that is a big enough sign that this needs to end.

So Liliana lulls her son back to sleep. Come daylight when Embrose finally arrives, all that's left is the swaddled child and a piece of parchment with the name Killian Lu scrawled on it in Lili's own beautiful script. No explanation following. The babe seems content, albeit appears to be missing a chunk of hair.

Returning to Innistrad, to Vess Manor is the most tranquil emotion. Her sanctuary, now like her body, is empty and silent. The feeling of her own bed and the silk sheets are like heaven. Her body as well as her mind are beyond tired. Before slumber completely takes hold of her, Liliana places a bundle of braided hair (inky black and no bigger than her pinky finger) onto the table beside her bed. There's a jeweler in Thraben that specializes in making pieces in commemoration of lost loved ones. She'll take it there. Maybe get itmade into a brooch or locket. The only remainder of odd time in her life.

Now her focus can return to her pacts. Demons won't kill themselves. Nor fetch their own artifacts or kill their own targets.

Small Liliana x Embrose thing i wrote

Was inspired by the song Achilles' come down . The plain writing without being in () is Embrose and because i feel like the Raven man still haunting her the words in () is him talking

Hope you enjoy {let me know if a part two should be made for Liliana’s perspective probably will be less poetic though}

TW: implied suicidal thoughts and ideation and possible attempt

Liliana, listen there is no me without you

Please come through

Though your decisions are brash and unkind

( lili just jump there is no purpose for failure and you’ve done enough)

Liliana please just listen I’m talking to you

( you've asked for my opinion just jump and be done)

No one asked for your opinion. love just listen without you I’m done

(you power obsessed woman just humor me and jump. You’ve caused enough.)

Lilana come down, it may not be enough but i love you

Throw yourself into my arms but just don’t jump.

( don’t listen to him Lili, let go and let death become you)

And we're leaving it with a cliffhanger because I'm mean like that
