#anduin x sylvanas

[kalethion]

i like to think of sylvanas & anduin’s relationship as two unlikely friends. enemies to allies. bound by the understanding of what it means to not be in control of yourself, to become something you swore you wouldn’t, & the bitter knowledge that no one could ever really understand your agony.

i also like to think that they became much more morally grey. what does sympathizing with a former horde leader entail? what does sympathizing with the king of the alliance entail? if anduin wasn’t really himself when possessed by arthas, then can he say he still remained fundamentally good, despite his acts? & where to start with sylvanas’ regret… condemned to pay for crimes she never felt any desire to do.

whenever we do get news of them (& i hope we do 🤞🏻), i hope we get more of them interacting

"Fine, make me your villain." But it's Sylvanas sitting on throne in Lordaeron and saying it to Anduin

[girlmachinezeph]

But imagine if Sylvaina also happens. "SHE TOOK MY GIRL ANDUIN, THE BANSHEE TOOK MY GIRL!"

Shadowlands au where instead of dissolving, Arthas's soul just sorta merged with Anduin and now the poor guy has this grim specter of death that only he can see following him around everywhere he goes, encouraging him to pick up every cursed item he finds and talking in cryptic riddles about horses and unforgivable crimes

The Phoenix and The Lion

Pairing: King Anduin Wrynn x Champion of Azeroth Liandline Lighthaven (Blood Elf OFC)

Timeline: Starts during the end of Battle for Azeroth, zooms through Shadowlands (because who hasn't), picks back up in The War Within

Synopsis: They met at the absolute worst time. The armies of the Alliance and the Horde readying to march on Orgrimmar to bring Warchief Sylvanas Windrunner to justice for the countless lives lost and atrocities committed during The Fourth War.

...but the battle was averted due the actions of a honorable old soldier.

In his grief at losing someone he had grown to respect and admire, he invited her to Stormwind as Emissary of Azeroth, and in her grief at losing a dear friend and mentor, she accepted.

Her presence there raised rumors. That she was an assassin sent by the Horde to kill him (the fact that she preferred stealth and poisons to do battle didn't help), or that she was a spy sent to seduce him. The Horde and Alliance were now at peace but old hatreds and older scars were slow to fade.

Anduin Wrynn x Anub'azal

In BFA

No Shadowlands

Sylvanas was killed by Xal'atath and replaced before the war

After Anduin frees Varok

The Alliance planned a coupe against Anduin since his kind heart was seen as a weakness

Anduin overheard this while most didn’t want Anduin to be harmed, Anduin believed they were going to kill him

Anduin escapes while everyone chases him, Tyrande cornering him, causing him to lash out and scar her face with Light since the Light rejected the darkness of the Night Warrior

Anduin falls into a river to escape as Genn and Jaina called for the guards to search for the boy

Anduin manages to escape through the secret tunnels he used as a child and fled Stormwind, unknowingly taking the light with him

Anduin somehow finds his way to the undercity that belongs to the Nerubian.

Injured, he was taken to be their prisoner while Anduin dwelled on always making bad choices

No one in the Alliance can use Light Magic anymore as people see it as an omen, blaming the leaders for losing it and being unable to heal them or protect themselves like they once did

Anduin began to heal and help others of the Nerubian, but earned his place for saving Seer Ixit’s life, earning a ranking of advisor among the Nerubian

Anub'azal soon falls in love with Anduin and purposed to him

Anduin decides to stay in Ahj-Kahet as he found kinship with them

Anduin even brought peace with the people of the hidden world, feeling that he succeeds where he failed topside

Jaina realizes that Anduin was right when Baine brought her brother back to him and regret her choices

Genn kept having nightmares of Varian calling him a failure and wanting to behead him or his dead son calling him a monster

Tyrande feels the burns of the light as Velen warned that the light has cursed her with pain for what she had done, only redemption can end the pain, bringing back Anduin

Moria feels like a hypocrite for driving Anduin away

When Sylvanas was defeated, they soon learn she was just a puppet to a greater evil as her empty shell was shredded to reveal the true enemy

Today I finished publishing The Measure Of The World, a 662k word Warcraft fic set in a sort of AU where I started from canon as my default but threw out or changed stuff wherever I felt like it. It starts at an alternate mak’gora in front of Orgrimmar, and covers the rest of BFA and a totally non-canonical alternate Shadowlands.

It’s primarily from the perspectives of Jaina and Sylvanas, but there are POV sections for Maiev Shadowsong, Delaryn Summermoon, Anduin Wrynn, Talanji, Arator, and Shandris Feathermoon as well, and several of these characters get their own side relationships too.

It’s a very emotionally fraught fic at times, but there’s an overall positive ending for all the POV characters involved. I’ve had a lot of fun writing it, and I’ve really enjoyed hearing from people who’ve found it meaningful. Now that it’s finished, I’m happy to invite people one last time to come take a look!

Beauty and the Beast (Andujane version) chapter 1

Once upon a time, there was a Kingdom ruled by a powerful king named Varian. The king was a very skilled fighter and a great ruler. One day, the king decided to go for a ride on his horse and met a really beautiful blond woman on the way. She was wearing a simple dress and had her hair down. He asked her for her name. She smiled and answered him that her name is Tiffin. The two of them quickly became friends. They start it spending more time together until one day they fell in love with each other and confessed each other their love. A few years later they got married with each other and they lived happily as husband and wife. And one day the queen got pregnant with triplets. They both were happy about starting a family. Unfortunalty their joy didn’t last longer. After 9 months, Tiffin gave birth to the 3 children, but she lost too much blood and she passed away. Varian felt a lot of pain after losing his wife. He named the first child Anduin, the second one Sophie and the last one Austin. It wasn’t an easy task to take care of the children, especially if there was 3 of them. The kids grew up healthy and well. Anduin was a blue eyed kind hearted blond boy, willing to help anyone in need. Sophie was a blue eyed lovely girl, loving challanges and to goof around. As for Austin, he was blond like his siblings with the diffrence that his eyes were in a dark shade of purple. He acted a lot diffrent than his two siblings. He was arrogent and selfish. He didn’t care about anyone, not even his own family. He even once had a serious fight with Anduin and Sophie had to separate them.

One day, king Varian went on the battlefield to fight off their enemies and has put Anduin in the charge while he’s away. The battle end it up with success. However, while the battle one of the enemies used a poisoned blade giving a deadly injury to the current king. Varian came back home, but days by days he was becoming weaker until one day, when he was laying in his bed, as his death was coming closer, he crowned Anduin as the new king of the Kingdom. Austin was very unhappy about hearing that. "Why his brother and not him? He deserved it more than him" thought the prince. Varian died a few days later. Everyone was at his grave. Everyone beside Austin. The prince was busy planning revange on his own brother. After hours of searching for a book in the library, he finally found the book he was looking for. The Book of the Void magic. Austin studied the whole book and at night he sneaked out of his room. He took his gryphon and flew to one of the most darkest places in the world in search of an artifact called "the wand of the Old Gods". Once he found it, he made a plan to assassin his own brother, when the time is right. This way, he wanted to take over the control of the whole Kingdom. The next day, when Anduin was all alone, Austin approched him and attacked. Luckly Anduin noticed him and dodged the attack. "By the light’s sake, what the hell are you doing Austin?" asked the young king. "I am taking your place on the throne. That’s what i’m doing." answered the traitor prince as he casted a spell with the wand, making two tentacules grabbing his brother by the arms. "Now that i got you in place, is time for me to get rid of you once and for all." said Austin as he smiled, grabbing a very sharp blade and approching his brother. Anduin struggled to get his arms free. He used the light to make them let go of him. Just before Austin menaged to get closer, he got himself free and dodged another attack. He used the light to blind his brother and kick the wand out of his hand. While Austin was on the floor, covering his eyes from the pain, Anduin took the wand and broke it.

The guards came in as they’ve heared loud noises of the fight. Anduin ordered them to arrest Austin and throw him in prison for the time being, while he decides his punishment for the betrayal. Austin was locked for a week. One day, he got summoned to the throne room by his brother. "Austin, you have commited an unforgivable crime against the king of Stormwind. As your punishment i banish you from the kingdom for eternity. And you shall never come back." said Anduin. "What? You can’t do that. I am your own brother. How dare you?" asked the traitor prince. "Actually i can. Guards, take him away, please." said the young king. The guards took Austin by the arms and dragged him away. "This is so unfair! I should be king instead of this two goody two shoes. It isn’t over brother! I promise I’ll have my revange." shouted Austin while being dragged away. After the traitor prince has been banished, the young king went to his room. A moment later Sophie joined him to comfort him. "Hey, i know you feel bad about the whole Austin banishment. But maybe that’s for the best? The two of you always were fighting anyway." said the princess. "I know dear sister. I know. The thing is, i thought that maybe one day we would come to agreements and improve our relationship. But instead, it got even worse then it was before. I wish, we could live as a happy family. First mom died after giving birth to the three of us. Then dad died because of the deadly wound that was unable to be healed. And now our brother’s betrayal. There’s only the two of us left. And sooner or later i will have to find a woman to be my queen." said Anduin. "And what’s the problem with finding yourself a girlfriend?" asked Sophie out of curiousity. "The thing is that i don’t feel ready. And even thought i have a choice between arranged marriage and marriage out of love, I want to marry someone I will truly fall in love with. Just like father did. It must be someone special. Someone who will be kind and caring. Soft and loving. Someone who will be fun to talk too. I don’t want to marry someone cold, selfish, snobby and boring." answered the king. Then an idea came in Sophie’s mind:"What about we organize a ball? This way you’ll get to spent some time with ladies and you’ll get to choose the one you’ll be interested in." "Do we even have to do this?" asked the king. "Oh come on! Don’t be such a buzzkill. Even if you won’t find the lady of your dreams, at least you’ll get to chill and relax a little. Isn’t that right?" asked the princess with a smile on her face. "Alright, you might be right. I kinda need some more time of relax and chilling. Let’s do this then." said Anduin.

Meanwhile, Austin was already planning to get revenge on his brother. He decided to pay a visit to the banshee witch Sylvanas. He made a deal with her. She would cast a curse on his brother and the whole kingdom of Stormwind. And in exchange he would find and give her an artifact that would bring her back to life. While the traitor prince went in the search of the artifact, the banshee went on her way to the kingdom. Meanwhile, the party start it. A huge amount of ladies were flirting with the king, trying to get his attention but none of them seemed to be his type. The young king had a few dances with some of them. But he found them boring or self-centered. A moment later he went to sit on his throne. "What’s wrong brother? You seem to be bored." asked Sophie. "All these ladies are very pretty. But none of them seems to be what I’m looking for. They’re all just seems interested in me because I’m the king. I feel like they don’t really care about getting to know who I truely am." answered Anduin. Suddenly the music stopped as a flying figure appeared in the room. "Ah, the young king of Stormwind. I was looking for you." said the banshee. "Who are you? And what do you want from me?" asked the king as he got up from his throne. "Oh, is nothing personal. You don’t have to worry." said the witch. "What does that even mean?" asked Anduin. Suddenly a pair of chains caught him by the wrists. "What the...?" asked the king as he struggled, trying to free himself. "Leave my brother alone you witch!" shouted the princess rushing at Sylvanas. But another pair of chains shackled her as well. The guards made an attempt to fight off the witch, but they have gotten overpowered by the chains. The visitors start it panicking and tried to leave only to get caught by the chains as well. "No one is leaving till I’m done." said the witch and start it casting a spell. Everyone got blinded by a dark purple light. A moment later Anduin woke up. He was on the floor and the witch was already gone. He looked around and instead of his subjects, he saw living objects looking at him. He felt really weird. He felt that something has happened to him as well. Suddenly a candlestick approached him:"Anduin, my brother is that really you?" Anduin thought a little:"Did this candlestick just called me it’s brother? Wait is this...?" He looked at the candlestick again:"Sophie, is that really you? What happend to you? What happend to everyone?" Then he noticed his voice have gotten a bit deeper. "Looks like the witch cast it a curse on our kingdom. She turned everyone into an object and looks like she turned you into a beast." said the princess. "A what?" asked the king and rushed to the closest mirror. What he saw horrified him. He saw a beast that looked like a werewolf and had the blond fur. He couldn’t believe that it was him. "How...how shall I reverse all of this?" asked he himself. He noticed a small note sticked to the mirror:"If you want to reverse the curse, you have to find the true love of your life. Only the kiss of the true love will reverse the curse." Austin kept his part of the deal and gave the artifact Sylvanas was looking for.
