👀 For the WIP meme!

This is just straight worldbuilding nonsense about what the Ascians were up to in Gisele’s verse (and ngl it’s half of why idgaf about DA4. nothing will be more satistfying to me than this goofy crack crossover that became very real). It’s one of those fics where every so often I poke at it but have no idea where it’s going

Their conference with the Exarch concluded, the Scions began to file outside the Ocular to attend to their appointed tasks—all save Gisele, who stood still within the crystalline chamber, her hand reached up to grasp the pendant about her neck, as her mind still reeled from the Ascian’s revelations deep within the Ronkan ruins, and fixed upon the questions they sparked within her.

Glancing up, she spied Haurchefant gazing at her, a questioning look within his gentle eyes. Wordlessly, she nodded to him; and he answered it with a soft smile, striding to exit the chamber, but not before briefly pausing to press his lips against her brow, and warmly cupping her cheek in his palm.

When he was gone, Gisele stared over at their erstwhile and most unlikely companion of late. Taking a deep, steadying breath, she crossed the distance to him; leaning against the wall in his typically indolent manner, he lifted his eyes to meet hers with a curious head tilt that reminded Gisele of nothing so much as his great grandson, and it would have amused her had she not been so singleminded in focus.

“I have questions, messere,” Gisele said softly. “And you are perhaps the only soul on life who can answer them. There is much and more that has plagued me, since our return from the temple. Would that your show of good faith might continue, I pray.”

Emet-Selch chuckled at her. “I'd imagine you might. Well, why wouldn’t I be forthcoming with you? I have thus far. What more do you wish to know, my dear Warrior of Darkness?”

“The Star from which I came...” Gisele began, “even before you made yourself known to us, when first I arrived here in Norvrandt, I noted striking similarities between the corruption of the Light upon this world, and the darkspawn taint which has ravaged Thedas these long centuries. Striking, and eerie parallels which I do not for a moment believe are coincidental. Your words within the ruins only deepened these connections. I would know of the Ascians’ role in it. All of it. Surely you founded Tevinter to the same aim as imperial Garlemald, as a start?”

Emet-Selch gasped in what Gisele could only name delight. “Oh, Gisele, be reasonable. We haven’t enough time for all of it. Nonetheless, I must commend you for your cleverness—for indeed, I birthed the Imperium. And your accursed magisters were taught their arts by me and mine...fragmented and weak as they were, these shardlings, it was a simple thing to teach them to draw upon their lifesblood. Crude, of a surety, but effective.”

Gisele had long suspected it, ever since the revelation of Garlemald’s birth as an empire was made at the parley. Still, it was another matter entirely to hear it directly from the mouth of a Paragon. As was the implication of his casual revelation—and what it meant for her, a woman born with one foot in the alienage and one in the aravel.

“You crushed Arlathan.”

It was an accusation, and one which escaped Gisele’s mouth without a second thought.

Emet sighed, lifting a gloved hand to his brow to lightly massage a temple. “I do not suppose it means much, now, but that is perhaps my one regret, where your home shard is concerned. Your ancestors retained more of their original nature than any of the fragmented races even upon the Source, much less than those upon the shards—tis why they were immortal, and their knowledge of the arcane surpassed any and all of the younger races. Of all beings, they were the closest to what we once knew. They held so much promise! And yet...the Elvhen would not yield, neither would they countenance cooperation. They would not suffer any notion of the Rejoining.”

She fell silent, a long moment. “And so you countenanced their destruction.”

“Ah, the Magisters did, my dear; I’d long shed my fleshly prison by then, and turned my attentions elsewhere. What followed…” Emet sighed, shaking his head. “Do not think I took joy in it, Gisele. Twas the Magisters’ own wretched greed and envy, in truth, that doomed your people. I realize it must prove cold comfort, but in truth me and mine paid little heed to Tevinter. We didn’t need to! Uncommonly vile they were, even for shardlings. Twas why I took such amusement when Lahabrea began whispering to that barbarian girl, stirring up rebellion in the provinces. But I was long gone from the Seventh, by the time that plan came to fruition.”

Gisele’s heart nearly stopped in her chest. Surely, he did not mean—no. He could not.

She never precisely believed in Him, and never had, of a surety. But the notion that...

Perhaps reeling back from the implications of what he said--all of it--Gisele  instead latched upon the incidental, and far more inconsequential. “The Seventh? Is that what you call my home star?” she asked.

“Indeed. Fate is full of ironies, is it not? That the Champion of the Seventh shard should come to Source, to then stand for Eorzea as a Scion of the Seventh Dawn sounds rather ludicrous, doesn’t it? And yet, there you went...and here you are. Aren’t you lucky?”

The corners of Emet’s mouth curved into a genuinely amused smile, and Gisele snickered.

“For a strange definition of luck, serah,” Gisele chuckled a bit ruefully, and Emet’s smile grew brighter.

“Come, my Lady Fortemps. Would you walk with me a while? It’s rather stuffy in here, and I should imagine you’d prefer to enjoy the fruits of your efforts whilst we continue our little conversation, beneath the night sky you fought so hard to restore—to my eternal consternation, might I add.”

Emet-Selch swept a characteristically grandiose bow to her, gazing up at her with a twinkle in his eyes, and held out his arm as any Ishgardian gentleman would.

For all his magnanimity, Gisele still did not entirely trust him—one would be a fool to do so, and she was no fool, not this woman who navigated the serpent’s den of Ishgardian politics with the same ease she did at the Landsmeet. Gisele had yet to piece together the endgame that the eccentric Ascian’s scheming had in his sights, where she and her comrades were concerned. She was under no illusions upon that score—Emet-Selch did nothing without purpose, for all his seeming idleness. And there was a purpose to all of these shows of good faith. But she also believed that there was little to be gained in antagonizing him, and that his good faith should be returned in kind, even were he an enemy. Besides, if she could turn him from his dire course somehow, and bloodlessly? It was worth any effort.

“I believe I shall,” Gisele said with a smile, and lightly took his arm with a genteel hand.

@lcsthings​ asked -  “ why are you so invested in keeping me alive? “ || V’s Meme Tag || Accepting Even Though My Askbox Is Bursting Open Send Help ||

She’s slow to answer- too caught staring at the red-  The lifesblood she spilled, to ensure the witcher’s didn’t. 

She’s bleeding too- but it’s different. There’s an almost golden-tinge to the red blood, darker and slower than a mortal’s would seep from any wound. The wounds are still enough to down a human-

And even as he watches, they’re slowly healing, as she tilts her head back to look at him over her shoulder, gaze alight- amused.  Wicked, in the moment. 

“I don’t like bullies,” she says after a moment. “And one doesn’t have to be inhuman to be a monster.” Slowly she blinks at him. “But you know that.” 

Still, she steps back and away from the body of the would-be executioner. “Besides that. You’re important to the balance of chaos- I can’t have it tipping just yet.” A quiet, catlike blink. 

“Your death.... Would not be favorable, to the world’s tapestry. Not now.” A huff. 

“Ask me in a week.”

nine people i'd like to get to know better <3

Tagged by: @nameslikeguns

Last Song: I Could Be by Kyla La Grange

Favorite Color: Lately I've into jewel tones of blue, green, red, and purple.

Last Book: I started Squad by Maggie Tokuda-Hall & Lisa Sterle last night, which is a queer werewolf graphic novel, and I've been slowly reading Betty by Tiffany McDaniel.

Last Movie: Poor Things at the cinema, which I loved a lot and felt very taken aback by.

Last TV Show: I'm still on my quest to finishing Riverdale (we're in S7) and very tempted to just start it back all over again from the beginning, but for non-Riverdale viewing, I watched the first episode of True Detective: Night Country, which I'm very into.

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Savory for most occaisions, but sweet when I am in the mood. Spicy very occaisionally.

Relationship Status: Single, sort of. It's a complicated queerplatonic life partnership situation.

Last Thing I Googled: Apparently it was "queer werewolf books". A thing I wish there was more of.

Current Obsession: Supernatural remains at the forefront, but Riverdale is making me very happy as well.

Looking Forward To: Getting back into writing now that I'm feeling physically much better.

tag meme: getting to know others better

tagged by: @applecrumbledore, thank you!

last song: I largely pick a playlist of mine to throw on when I need music, and since I haven’t been writing lately due to modding an exchange, I’ve been reaching this playlist. Backstory: @ladyculebras challenged me and a few friends to make a Peter Quill-style playlist based on songs from our childhoods, so righ now the vibes are very nostalgic. 

currently watching: Currently, TV-wise, I’m in the middle of a full series watch of Supernatural. But we did Barbenheimer the opening weekend, and saw Talk To Me this past Saturday. 

currently reading: I have a horrible track record with reading unless I’m listening to an audiobook, and often I can’t pay attention to a fictional audiobook, but at the moment I’ve been pretty captivated by The Only One Left by Riley Sager. As for non-fiction, I’ve been switching between: The Killer Across the Table by Mark Olshaker & John E. Douglas and All the Living and the Dead: From Embalmers to Executioners, an Exploration of the People Who Have Made Death Their Life's Work by Hayley Campbell. 

current obsession: This past week it was focusing on the exchange I’m running, but now it’s back to figuring what in my pile of WIPs and ideas will hold my focus. 

tagging: @streussal @ladyculebras @alaynestone @augustmourn @queermccoy & anyone who feels like doing this!
