Exactly what it says on the tin. Might contain the odd bit of actual crusades history and medieval geekery (but not in a weird way, I swear: religious fanatics, stay away!). In this house we take the piss out of Templars who weren't actually Templars (I'm looking at you, Guy de Lusignan and Reynald de Châtillon...), we support the supreme cheekiness of a Knight Hospitaller who is definitely not Remus Lupin, and - most importantly - we stan a badass Leper King and a growly Count of Tripoli. || Garfield!Reynald is our local cryptid. || [run by @fuchskreuzkraut (she/her, 24 y/o), Fuchskreuzkraut on AO3

the only thing missing is a white horse and we'd have a knight on a white horse ✨

Imagine if Kingdom of Heaven got a prequel about the first years of king Baldwin's reign with Tiberias by his side as his regent
#i see two pretty princesses#raymond iii of tripoli#baldwin iv#truly this would end me#in a good way#i love young raymond in all his sparkly golden glory#I just don’t understand what hiddleston as henry v is doing in between our crusader princesses

i had a dream you updated lanquan li jorn and woke up with nary a 14th chapter 😓😓😓😓😓😓😓
I’m so sorry, anon! I know my update schedule is GRRM-levels of cursed, but I promise the next chapter is as good as ready!! 💛 Real life has been demanding these past few months - I interned at a small publishing company while job-hunting for a paid PhD / research assistant position in my field, and while everything (thankfully!) worked out as intended, it was all a bit stressful. Hence, not much fic was written. Going forward, I'm hoping for more consistency in my updates. I know I could post much more frequently if I made my chapters shorter, but I dislike it when they don't feel like little finished units in themselves, which is why they always take so ungodly long to put together. That's my personal form of insanity - my perfectionism just loves to slow me down to a crawl 😩

do you ever become obsessed with a character and you just go "of fucking course its that one" at yourself because you are so incredibly predictable
#my tastes are indeed so predictable it’s lowkey embarrassing#but also hilarious#if he is gruff sly and a little pathetic he is mine#if she is unpredictable and slightly sinister she is also mine
