#it's missing and loving darien gautier hours

[constantfyre]

I miss Darien sm. I wanna see him but other than making a new character (which I don't have the energy to figure out what I wanna do there. Ig I COULDDDD remake my necromancer main girlie) I can only do Coldharbour and Summerset to actually be with him. (The Dariens still in Lion Guard Redoubt and Shinji's Scarp do not count in this instance as seeing him. I need, so much more than a sentence or two rn 😭)

I. I don't wanna but I NEED to see him. My fucking wife 😭 PLEASE GIVE HIM BACK SAFE AND SOUND ZOS PLEASE PLEASE IM BEGGING ON MY KNEES!!!!!

[pocket-vvardvark]

Ty for tagging me @skyrim-forever !!

I'd like to tag: @fangsandsoftgrass @sanzas-reverie @sulphuricgrin @hircines-hunter @changelingsandothernonsense @scholarlyhermit @mavariel @madamefluffnstuff

Which NPCs in TES (all games included!) do you crush on, and why? They don't have to be marriage candidates (in vanilla), just people you find yourself blushing around. Hell, it could be a Deadric Prince if that's what you're into. Name them and say what about them you find appealing! Then feel free to tag a friend or two!

These r mostly gonna be ESO bc I haven't played Skyrim in a gazillion years lol, soooo:

1. Fennorian Ravenwatch!!!

Literally the main reason why i actually continued playing ESO lol. I just love his shyness, and how much he cares about the vestige (they fumbled in the newest chapter I stfg 🙄🙄🙄) I would date him irl idec I'm only straight for pookie <333333 I used to tweak so bad, I couldn't look at his face or hear his voice 🥴

2. Verandis Ravenwatch

Listen, he's hot and he's a dilf sooo perfect combo fr fr. Also, there's something I really like about the 'fatherly' characters, something like mentors just tickles my brain in the right way.

3. Vanus Galerion

Ok, so I'm not gonna lie, at first!! I didn't like him!! But then my brain chemistry changed when he was low key degrading us 🤤 ok ignore that, but I love that underneath all his grumpiness, is someone who's vulnerable. Also I want him to bend me over his desk :) I need more Vanus loreee, let me love pookie right

4. Abnur Tharn

When I was done with his DLC, I fucking scoured ao3 and Tumblr to lick at the crumbs left for me :)) The first time he shows up in the main quest?? Liked him but wasn't feral yet. Elsewyr?? Omfg, I love how he's changing!!! C'mere pookie 😍😍 ok, also I'm ngl but I blushed when he called us a pretty face <33

5. Iachesis

He's a hot, old, Altmer with good hair what else is there to say?? When he first showed up I was like damn, this is Vanus's dad figure?? Sign me UP!!!

6. Revus Demnevanni

He's so endearing. I love how clumsy he is, but ALSO!! He's always trying to right his mistakes which is hot ASF. Really miss him :/

7. Ayrenn

Ok, first off--HER VOICE. Her voice is sooooooo nice like OUGH, I could listen to her for hours. She's so caring, too, and I love that she's really willing to stuff for all the races in the Altmer alliance. FCK the veiled heritance fr fr.

8. Darien Gautier

I miss this man sm, guys I fucking cried during the Summerset DLC. He fucking BROKE ME. I didn't care for him that much in the beginning, but the dlc absolutely wrecked me :((. I felt like there was a real relationship there, and Darien really cared about everyone around him. I miss my knight 😭

9. Gabrielle Benele

Gabby is so cute, I love how crazy she is sometimes. But, also she cares SO MUCH. I just wanna hug her(maybe a smooch also), she's been thru sm and deserves sum loveeee

10. Divayth Fyr

Yeah, this got developed when I did cw city dlc, but um...he calls us a distraction after the trial and it fucked me UP. HELL YA I WANNA BE UR DISTRACTION DADDY FYR

11. Marcurio

Guys, this was my FIRST LOVE, NOT EVEN KIDDING. I love his stupid sassy attitude and want to break his back (or have him break mine idc). ALSO, he has this one line when you go through caves that's, like just reminding you that he's here if you're scared <33

12. Hieronymus lex

Listen, man, I didn't expect it either. I love love love him sooooo much. Playing the thieves guild quest line in high school got me so crunked up. I just love this like forbidden love between a guard and a thief like 😍😍

13. Martin Septim

I'm a Martin truther y'all, can't stop myself. I just know he's kinky ASF, ANYWAYS. He really changes throughout the whole quest line and I love that, but alsoooo Martin is so sweet. Esp when he yells at you to put the mysterium xarxes down bc he's worried <33 yes king, I am but ur humble servant 🥴 I also love knight x king type of romance yum

14. Sotha Sil

I blushed. I fucking blushed when his tall ass stepped into the psijic order. He's looking for me? FOR ME??? I was like standing there brain.exe stopped working. Also his voice is straight up butter like omggg

15. Clavicus vile

Shoot me. Do it. Skyrim version AND ESO version. I'm insane, Ik, but the deal aspect has me thinking bad thoughts 🥴 ALSO HIS VOICE SKSKSKSKWMW

16. Caius Cosades

Yup. You heard right. Listen, he's kinda brusque or whatever in the beginning, but I feel like he rlly helps you thru shit tbh. I'm dumb, so I can't see any deeper, BUT he's kinda caring and I genuinely felt so sad and lost once he peaces out 💀

swordpulled sent a courier,

A freshly picked rose, with red petals and not an imperfection upon it. A neatly folded letter of crisp parchment paper, fine ink writing and the scent of flowers and perfume. In the letter it reads,

“Ah, Good morning my love!” He even drew a flower next to the word “love”…

“I woke up a bit early, but I didn’t want to wake you. You seemed so peaceful.” There is a faint squiggle of a smiley face in ink, although it seems a little smudged. “Last night was wonderful, but do not think you’ve seen the last of Darien Gautier! Oh no! I need to finish up a job with an old colleague of mine. But do not fret, while I know you’ll simply miss me terribly, and wonder, "what’s in that beautiful head of Darien’s?”, rest assured, I’ll be thinking of you. Robeless. In my bed. Too forward? Anyway, I’ll return by sundown, at which my job should be done by then. Hopefully, with that coin, I can buy us dinner? Unless, you intend to be the full course tonight. No complaints by me, of course. Wait for me, will you?“

Ser Darien Gautier

                                                 𝙳𝙰𝚁𝙸𝙴𝙽 𝙷𝙰𝙳 𝚃𝙾𝙻𝙳 𝙷𝙸𝙼 𝙱𝙴𝙵𝙾𝚁𝙴 𝚃𝙷𝙰𝚃 𝙷𝙴 𝚂𝙻𝙴𝙿𝚃 𝙻𝙸𝙺𝙴 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙳𝙴𝙰𝙳.  maybe deeper than that.  ‘ there are draugr more lively than you in the morning, ’  the knight had jested before, the observation not one miraak felt especially spiteful for.  it was true, after all --- but then, he was catching up on years upon years of sleep.  there was no rest in apocrypha, nothing but wakefulness no matter how bone-tired one was.  in truth, the need to rest again was something he found strange.  to feel fatigue once more took adjustment.  and fatigued he felt.  miraak was still slumbering by the time darien woke, unmoving other than the gentle rise and fall of his back as he slept. he was curled on his stomach, his mangled half-face hidden in the lush, silk pillows;  when he was asleep, without dreams, he almost looked peaceful.

it was another couple hours before he woke, undisturbed.  he could hear the twitter of birds through the window, and felt the slight breeze against his bare skin.  a small shiver ran down his spine, and gradually the priest stirred.  back arched in a languid stretch, and sluggishly he sat up, the blankets pooling around his waist.  as he cast a glance about the empty room, he saw two things:  his robes, neatly laid across a nearby chair,  and his mask upon the dresser.  next to it, though, was something else----  a letter, and a.. flower?

he blinked slowly. 𝙾𝙵 𝙲𝙾𝚄𝚁𝚂𝙴, 𝙷𝙴 𝙺𝙽𝙴𝚆 𝙸𝚃 𝙸𝙽𝚂𝚃𝙰𝙽𝚃𝙻𝚈 𝚃𝙾 𝙱𝙴 𝙵𝚁𝙾𝙼 𝙳𝙰𝚁𝙸𝙴𝙽.  was it custom to leave such an offering behind?  curiosity got the better of him, and though his body ached in protest, miraak ignored it.  for once, it was a pleasant ache anyway.  leisurely, he lifted himself from the bed, letting the sheets fall where they may as they dropped from his naked body.  

he pinched the flower between his fingers first, and brought it close, attempting to breathe in its scent.  it felt almost childish, in a way ;  it was unbecoming.  someone such as himself did not care for such frivolous niceties. as it was, he couldn’t even smell it, though he tried.  his lips twitched, not in a frown or a smile, somewhere in between.  it was set down again, forgotten as he picked up the letter and carefully unfolded it.  almost immediately, miraak found himself rolling his eyes as the cheerful words of darien gautier greeted him.  good morning, my love!  he could practically hear it in his annoyingly well-intentioned voice.

had this been anyone else, he would have felt more aggravated. but he knew darien well enough by now to be used to it --- at least somewhat.  admittedly, it felt strange to read such.. endearment, especially when it was directed at him.  as he read further down the letter, heat crawled up the back of his neck --- slight awkwardness and embarrassment for this sheer thoughtfulness displayed for him.  it felt... wrong ;  as if he were undeserving, a pair of prying eyes reading a letter meant for somebody else entirely.  it had been so long since anyone, alive or dead, had shown him such... affection.  he’d forgotten what it felt like, and in that moment miraak felt grateful he was alone.  how was he to respond?

gently, he folded the paper again, darien’s written, flirtatious words still resonating in his head.  

wait for me, will you?           my love.             i’ll be thinking of you.  

what did he do to deserve such kindness?  though it would be easy to cast darien aside as nothing more than someone who was too friendly for their own good, he could not help but think of it as more than that.  maybe this was to be his reward, one way or another, after lifetimes of suffering, even though he could not stand the knight at first.  but now, miraak wondered if perhaps this.. niceness, whatever it was... was compensation.  he chased the thought away, though, before it could linger in his head any longer like an insistent daydream.

letter still held securely in his hand, he craned his head and gazed out the window.  the sun was still high in the sky, and he found himself disappointed it was not lower.  

and so the waiting began.  this time, though, he was looking forward to the conclusion.

He's so much more than just a guy to me. I miss him. I need him back. I'm like a 50s housewife waiting for her husband to come back from the war but it's me waiting for my wife to come back from the coloured rooms. I'm not okay over this man and that's just fine by me.

He was a dumbass but, my god, he was our dumbass. That idiotic man has me forever in a chokehold and I don't wanna be free of it.

[constantfyre]

Almost done writing a piece of fluff for Darien and my Vestige. Very tempting to have him call them a sweet little nickname... For no reason at all 👀 but we're getting stuff done over here!! I'm proud of myself, and I'm gonna think of nicknames while I play ESO. Something cute, endearing, and not easily forgettable for angst reasons. I'll think of it, but I am due wife time on ESO (among other things)

I miss my wife 😔 but hey that's what writing is for! And I'm due a cute little shortfic for him and Aileth. Due multiple actually. I should write more of these to cope I think. I Need This. And him

should I be working on my long fic? Yeah prob. One day I'll have the energy to continue writing it. I can't focus on my everyone lives au RN though.

[constantfyre]

it's that time again (it always is but it's so strong again today I'm so sorry for spamming people's activities 😭 I just miss and love our bread boy sm)

[constantfyre]
