#the new empress is the product of said affair? fair enough

[no-light-left-on]

I adore each and every post-doto fic where the now-human Outsider just waltzes into the Tower and simply moves in

just imagine working at the Tower, your employer likes to sneak out at night to run about with her definitely-not-father, you somehow survived the witch coup and when things finally start looking up, the lord protector and his protégé (who is certainly not related to him by blood) suddenly welcome in a boy of indiscernible age who somehow manages to look more pathetic than a wet kitten, but the lord protector and the empress instantly take a liking to him, come up with half-cohesive stories about his origins that you choose not to pay attention to, just like you don’t pay attention to the two of them covering their left hands at all times. and then a couple days, maybe weeks pass, and the lord protector seems to smile more, and the bed of the guest of honor is always made even though he Insists that he sleeps  in it and you have to move on with your life and pretend that the lord protector isn’t fucking his daughter’s new friend

#dishonored #dh #doto #corvosider #I am just. having many thoughts #the maids and the guards have Seen things while working for the Kaldwins and they just gotta move on with their lives #the old empress had an affair with her bodyguard? okay #the new empress is the product of said affair? fair enough #both her and her definitely-not-dad have magic powers? thats just one more secret to keep among the many #the empress welcomes in a sad goth twink like they are old friends and he just so happens to look like the whale satan? none of your busines #the lord protector is fucking him now? somehow you dont find it in yourself to care #bonus points if the outsider refuses to call emily anything other than 'emily'
