Shoves my ocs into your face

Fuck it I get to ramble about one of my WoLs again it’s my blog. I present Landrenel my Sharlayan Elezen sage feat. EW spoilers!

I think about Landrenel and the twins so often. He was there when they were born, though he didn’t stay to see them grow up. He left very soon after, when Fourchenault began to change. Landrenel couldn’t stand it, and he decided to take on some research far from Sharlayan in order to get his head together, at the urging of Ameliance. One mission turned to two, two turned to three, and one time he simply… did not return.

The next time he saw the twins was during the remembrance ceremonies, though he did not realize it was them at the time and thought it mere coincidence that another set of siblings shared their names. It was only when he heard their last name spoken aloud that he realized it was truly them, and he swore to himself that he would protect them. No matter what it took.

The twins, on the other hand, did not realize it so quickly. Landrenel didn’t say anything to them, as he wasn’t sure if they even knew of his existence… and if they did, he feared what their opinion may be. It is something he regrets. Alisaie was the first to figure it out, drawing conclusions from his reaction to seeing Louisoux in the Coils of Bahamut raids, though she didn’t say anything until post-Heavensward when she was poisoned by Renda-Rae’s arrow. She calls out for her Uncle Lan when she sees him… which is how Alphinaud puts it together.

After a long talk where Landrenel explains nearly everything to the twins, including why he was so afraid to tell them who he was, things slowly begin to change. They begin to treat each other more like family - it already feels like they are, from the stories the twins had heard growing up and Landrenel’s past with their parents and grandfather. After Fourchenault’s speech in Gridania he even offers them his surname, should they wish to have it.

When they get to Sharlayan, and it really sinks in for Landrenel that the twins don’t have a home to go back to, not with Fourchenault acting the way he is… he wants to offer them a place in his. Except… he doesn’t have one either. His adoptive parents are no longer in the city, he does not even know if they are dead or alive, and his biological parents are still deep in Labyrinthos. The two men he once called his mentors and family were dead, and the Isle of Baldesion where he spent his years after graduating the Studium was gone. Not even Wilfsunn and Bloewyda are there, though Landrenel has the same sort of trepidation as Urianger on that front. The Leveilleur Esate, his last residence before he left the island, was likely even less of a home to him than the twins. The three of them are adrift in the city they once called home, with only each other and the other Scions. But as long as they had each other, that’s all they really needed.
