Welcome to chaldea

Time to explore how the hell Rex even got to chaldea in the first place.

*in a suburban home somewhere in Kansas, laying in his bed was the man who would eventually be thrown into some magical bs*

*phone rings*

Me: *picking up the phone* hola?

Gramps: Hola mijo!

Me: oh hey gramps

Gramps: how are doing today?

Me: I'm fine, and you?

Gramps: bien , muy bien. Hey, you think you can come over? It's kind of important.

Me: uh sure I guess I could.

Gramps: and make sure you come alone

Me: oh... OK.

*later on right outside a pretty dingy looking house*

Me: *driving up to the building*

Me: here we are. Wonder what he needs

*enters the house*

Me: gramps! You in here?!

Gramps: *from another room* over here mijo!

*Rex walks to a room that looks a bit like an office. And there at a desk sat an older kinda short looking Mexican man*

Rex: hey Gramps. You wanted to see me?

Gramps: si mijo! There's something I need to tell you about.

Me: uh sure thing, what is it?

Gramps: ...you ever heard of magic mijo?

Me: *already concerned* uh.... yeah.

Gramps: you think it's all just nonsense and fairy tails don't you?

Me: well all evidence I and the world at large have seen points towards it being bs, yeah.

Gramps: well what if I told you it was all true, and all magic users have been keeping it a secret from the rest of the world?

Me: what like Harry Potter? Well first off I'd be concerned about your mental health somewhat.

Gramps: hahaha, yeah I imagine that's an appropriate reaction. But what if I showed you this *just fucking makes fire appear out of his hands*

Me: .....well then. Is it real?

Gramps: course it's real. Try to feel it

Me: *reaches hand out, it's actually warm* ...how the fuck?

Gramps: like I said, magic! Well we call it thamaturgy, we don't consider it true magic.

Me: then wtf is true magic?

Gramps: the stuff of dreams! The things some true magicians can do are beyond imagination and even comprehension!

Me: well then... why are you telling me all this now? Who else knows?

Gramps: no one else in the family. I've kept this a secret for ages.

Me: ages?! How old are you?

Gramps: oof! I don't even remember! But I will say my earliest memory is of some Spanish fools asking about a golden city. And even then I wasn't exactly a spring chicken

Me: *thinking about how old that could be* holy... so you can keep yourself young with magic?

Gramps: yeah, most mages don't but a few dabble in it.

Me: why keep it a secret for so long? And why start talking now?

Gramps: well to answer your first question, it's because most of mage culture is horrible and lacks morality almost entirely.

Me: ...huh

Gramps: and almost all mages are fools, refusing to adapt with the times. They're obsessed with the old ways, it can get downright pathetic honestly!

Me: interesting... again why now?

Gramps: well I figure it's time to stop extending my life so damn much and open the way for the next generation, as in you!

Me: Me?! You want me start doing magic?

Gramps: yup!

Me: why me? Why not dad or mom or someone?

Gramps: because I've been specifically getting you ready for this. Your magical circuits are the best in the family, the only ones that compare to mine.

Me: ...my what?

Gramps: they're called magical circuits. It's the part of the body that allows people to practice thamaturgy in the first place.

Me: so it's genetic?

Gramps: yeah, almost every generation after me had subpar circuits. Slowly over the generations I did small experiments to ensure that eventually I will have a proper successor. Nothing too bad, no one would've noticed. And you are the culmination of that work.

Me: feels really weird to be called the culmination of your work.

Gramps: yeah, that's an understandable reaction. Don't worry, I never needed to do anything to you. You were born ready to go. I just needed to wait until you were old enough.

Me: alright. So how do we start this? You start teaching me how to do this?

Gramps: early on I did have that in mind, but then a friend of mine starting working on something that I think would be better. You see, in the world of magecraft I'm actually kinda infamous. I'm a bit of a black sheep compared to the rest of magus society. Instead of focusing on 1 type of magecraft I decided to travel all around and learn as much as I could.

Me: so you're a bit of a jack of all trades?

Gramps: yeah, that's a good way to put it. I made many friends and enemies in my travels. And many want to know all the secrets I have, because I know forms of magecraft that many would love to get their hands on. For example, I'm ages old but don't look a day over 80 right?

Me: yeah.

Gramps: usually for other mages to achieve this many sacrifices are made, like sanity or their bodies start to deteriorate. But not me! I have access to magecraft that's long since died out.

Me: damn

Gramps: and all those secret will go to you. Or atleast most that I can give. And automatically once I die, all my enemies will be your enemies.

Me: WHAT!?

Gramps: but! Then I heard a friend of mine, from the animusphere family started working on something called the Chaldea security organization. And he needs mages, I talked to him and ensured that you'll join. And in return he'll ensure no one can get to you.

Me: so I'll go their to learn instead of you?

Gramps: yup! Soon enough I'll transfer my crest, which what'll you need to get started, you'll receive a phone call to confirm your participation. Then eventually someone will come get you, and you'll get started from there.

Me: so it's like a job? And is it OK for them to get someone so new to this?

Gramps: they just need bodies, and yeah it's basically a job. But you'll be staying there. So I'm basically forcing you to finally be independent and move out of your parent's home

Me: I'm only 20, it's not that bad.

Gramps: still, this has been set in motion. Are you prepared for what's coming?

Me: not even remotely! But I have very little say do I?

Gramps: nope!

*eventually after a few days, Gramps transfered his crest over to Rex. Eventually Gramps passes, and Rex just waited*

*phone rings*

Me: hello?

*a female voice is heard*

Olga: hello, this is the director of the chaldea security organization. I have a note from the previous director to call this number on this day. Are you the successor of that... unique magus who passed recently?

Me: yes I am.

Olga: and am I correct to assume that you've been informed of your involuntary recruitment into this organization?

Me: yup

Olga: ok, I'm not going to force you to join but I will say it is in your best interest to join. Once other magus find out about you, and they will, you will likely not be safe.

Me: yeah, he made that clear. I've already prepared myself to join

Olga: excellent, a car will be coming tomorrow to take you to a plane. From there you'll be taken here.

Me: alright then. Is that it?

Olga: that's all, see you soon enough

*the phone is hung up*

Me: kind of annoying being thrown into this. But from what I've heard it could be worse. *looks at an envelope left by gramps*

*on the envelope it says "don't open until you get there, and make sure to bring the feather"*

Me: *holding said feather* he gave me this thing ages ago. So I guess this was him getting me ready for all this? Wth does a feather have to do with magic anyways?

*the next day on the plane*

*Rex is seated next to a pair of twins*

Rikka: *trying to start conversation* hey there!

Me: hi

Rikka: what's your name?

Me: you can call me Rex

Rikka: well hey there Rex! You can call me Rikka, and this is my brother Rikko!

Rikko: *is sleeping*

Rikka: *elbows him* wake up bro!

Rikko: huh? What?

Rikka: so why'd you decide to join up?

Me: was kinda forced into this by gramps

Rikka: your grandpa forced you to join?

Me: oh, he's not actually my grandpa. Everyone in my family just called him that because he's older. And yeah I was forced essentially, because a lot of magus don't like him apparently. And as his successor I'm apparently going to have a target on my back. But he said the director would promise my safety if I joined so... yeah

Rikka: well that's kind of messed up! But that's mage culture for ya!

Me: man every time I hear about mage culture, it's non-stop misery and dread

Rikka: do you not know much about mage culture?

Me: no! Just a month ago, magic would've been considered fairy tale nonsense to me! But now I'm being thrown into something I barely understand to stay safe from who knows what!

Rikko: that's very weird. Normally it's driven into your head from birth

Me: but not me! Even the rest of my family knew nothing until I showed them some of the basic spells gramps taught me! He's left me with very little while throwing me into this crazy world. It's kind of weird because he was always that cool relative that was a blast whenever he visited! But now he's the man who threw me into this magic hell and then died! All he's left me with is this journal to figure out basic magecraft and this bite and feather

Rikko: feather? Why the feather?

Me: good question. The note might explain but it says to wait until we get there.

Rikka: well when you do open it can you tell us?

Me: sure I guess

Me: but I've gone on long enough, why are you guys joining?

Rikko: well we just needed some work and independence, and our parents heard about this place and said we should join up

Me: that's it?

Rikka: yup!

Me: huh, ok then

*eventually once at chaldea and after the huge presentation at the beginning the 3 are walking towards their rooms*

Me: man you two kept falling asleep, if I weren't there to keep you guys awake who knows how the director would've reacted. And also thankfully that Mash girl told us the right way to go to our rooms

Rikka: *still sleepy* yeah, thanks for that. And thanks Mash

Rikko: *also sleepy* so where's our rooms anyways?

Me: *stopping at a door* right here it seems

Rikka: cool! Let's get in to read your note already!

Me: don't you want to get into your rooms first?

Rikka: that can wait! I'm too curious right now!

Me: alright then

*the door opens and sitting on the bed is a man with long red hair tied in a pony tail is seen eating cake, along with him is a dark skinned woman with dark purple hair*

Me: uh...

Rikka: hey there?

Rikko: did you get the wrong room?

Me: no... it says right on the paper

*the two on the bed stand up*

Romani: oh sorry about that we were just kind of taking a quick break, this room had been empty for so long we just used it to hang out.

Me: huh... well sorry but I've been assigned to this room.

Rikka: who are you guys anyway?

Romani: I'm Romani Archaman, the head doctor around here though most people call me Dr. Roman. And this lovely woman is my wife, and assistant

Mrs. Archaman: hello there

Me: oh the head doctor huh? Interesting

Rikko: nice to meet you doc

Rikka: ...you guys both have fluffy hair

Roman: yeah we get that a lot

Mrs. Archaman: mostly me though. People always want feel my hair

*out of nowhere comes a little white animal*

Roman: oh is that the fabled mystery creature Mash told us about?

Mrs. Archaman: oh how cute!

Me: wtf is he?

Rikko: squirrel?

Rikka: cat?

Roman: no idea, my first time seeing him

Roman: come here little guy, I'll give you a treat

Fou: fou fou!

Roman: wait a minute, what's with the pitying look in his eyes!?

*all of a sudden the lights go out, thanks to the explosion*

Well that's the pretty much the story

Really wanted to finally show how Rex got into chaldeas in the first place.

Tagging some folks @panyum @grievouslyxorvia @gxymlky @hasereshdoneanythingwrong

Kinda wonder if people will realize who the mysterious wife is

[cloversdreams]

theres a cute doctor in my bed im so luckyyyyy 

wait a sec...

uh oh

[jesswritesimagines]

Could I maybe get... 9 on the touching prompts (listening to the other’s heartbeat) with Mr Romani Archaman fgo himself? 🧡🧡 Thank you Jess my beloved for all you do

pairing: romani archaman x f!reader

words: 293

warnings: n/a

prompt: listening to the other’s heartbeat

a/n: yes of course!! that man is my big brother figure and i miss him dearly. i will grab delightworks and shake them like a vending machine until they give us him back!!

Okay, so this probably isn’t how a general health checkup should go, but he’s the doctor here.

“I thought you used a stethoscope for that?” you point out with a cheeky grin.

Romani glances up at you from his spot with his head nestled against your chest. His cheeks are ever just slightly pink, but he defends his methods with a pout.

It’s really cute.

“C-come on, let me have this!” he insists. “Besides, it’s a perfectly valid method.”

“Oh really?” You raise a brow, your amused expression making it clear just how much you were enjoying gently teasing him. 

“Yeah!” Romani reaches over and takes one of your hands in his. “I mean, we haven’t been able to spend a lot of time together lately, outside of these checkups.”

His point is a valid one. You’re both busy people - he’s the current acting director of Chaldea, and you’re Chaldea’s only remaining master. All hope for humanity rests on both your shoulders. It’s your duty, and you’re happy to do what no one else can, but you can’t say you haven’t been missing the chance to just... relax.

“A-and I miss you when you’re off fixing Singularities!” he continues. “I know we can still talk, but... it’s not the same.” His hand gives yours a squeeze, as if confirming that you’re really here. “I want to hold you in my arms... Run my fingers through your hair... Tell you how much I love you...”

Romani’s sweet nothings cause your face to flush, and before you realize what’s going on, he’s pulled his head from your chest and instead pressed a kiss to your forehead.

“See? Told you it’d work,” he says, smiling fondly at you. “I just heard your heart rate pick up...”

[teatitty]

Mr Archaman you are so sexy with rings

[hasquetzorkukudoneanythingwrong]

For the character thing if you're still taking them: First Hassan, Miyu, and Sheba?

Alrighty!

First Hassan

First impression: cool skeleton dude

Impression now: very badass og assassin that can kill almost all.

Favorite moment: when he forces the concept of death onto Tiamat. also when he fucks over Gawain.

Idea for a story: I'd just like a repeat of the tiamat thing but with some other unstoppable monster.

Unpopular opinion: nada, he's badass.

Favorite relationship: how the other Hassans revere and fear him so much.

Favorite headcannon: whenever Kiara fucks around, he shows up to put a stop to it.

Miyu

First impression: smol magical loli.

Impression now: tragic magical girl.

Favorite moment: I have seen very lil of Prillya, so I don't know much... but what I do know, is that she has trouble using magic since her brain still uses scientific logic instead, so there's that.

Idea for a story: found family where she's adopted by someone in chaldea, that's all I got.

Unpopular opinion: uh... put her in gacha more... (that doesn't fit, but this part's always the most difficult for me)

Favorite relationship: from what I've heard, her relationship with her bro is pretty nice.

Favorite headcannon: when on her off time, she tries to have a somewhat normal life in chaldea, but it's nearly impossible.

Sheba

First Impression: money loving cat(?) Girl?

Impression now: Roman/Solomon's beloved wife!!!

Favorite moment: unfortunately I haven't seen much of her in story, so I don't have much. Her valentine's scene is cool.

Idea for a story: I'd like an alternative version of Grand order, where Romani manages to summon her, and they end up marrying on modern times, so she gets to be Mrs. Archaman!

Unpopular opinion: not a fan of the greed jokes. Also don't like that she shows up after Roman's gone...

Favorite relationship: I'd like to see her relationship with Solomon. But also adopt Mash as a daughter (especially after what happened to Da Vinci)

Favorite headcannon: again, adopting Mash. And the two discussing their experiences with Roman/Solomon.

[thessaliah]

“Of Chaldea”: Lev Lainur Flauros theory

“Once, you were saved from the abyss of death by the God of a Different Star. Then, they too get to be saved once from the abyss of death. Don’t you think that finally makes things equal?”

“ I see. That is certainly fair. You are good at persuasion, as usual. “

The identity of the one of Chaldea is still an ongoing mystery. Some speculated Goetia in a journey of atonement. Others bring up a different kind of Solomon, whether from a Lost History, Pruned History or simply a Counter Guardian summon by the System to run a task. Solomon’s personality being nothingness mean that would not match Roman’s which was formed under special circumstances.Those theories are all valid and still possible. But I want to focus tho less about the power this man exhibits so far or the Independent Manifestation skill which doubtlessly points in direction of Goetia and Solomon and more about the identity of this person  (although the ability could be explained somehow, I will refrain from speculating how for now). The person self identifies as someone from Chaldea. The identity of “from Chaldea” has been highlight a lot so is it truly a lie? Furthermore,  while   カルデアの者 could mean “person of Chaldea”, it also could mean “people of Chaldea.”

(Lev and Roman feature together in the first section of OP, before a crying adult Olga appears - Then Chaldea “Person” features in the end of the Opening, before a crying young Olgamarie appears).

The story of Fate/Grand Order is the story of Chaldea and its members. In the first arc of Fate/Grand Order, Mash Kyrielight and Romani Archaman were the focus of the growth center of the narrative (particularly Roman even if Mash had more screentime as the heroine to sell to the players, I think this was because FGO began as a story about Roman and Solomon, that was the outline Nasu later filled with other stuff). Nonetheless, it is the story of two Chaldea members. Or maybe a story with focus of Mash's connection to Romani. When part 2 started, with Roman out the picture, we are introduced to Mash's former teammates, the Masters of Team A, also known as Crypters, and until Wodime's death they had the focus. They too are members of Chaldea. Now we can think "now is Olga's turn" who like Team A was taken out early before she could shine. True, that's obviously the idea. But... when Chaldea was introduced in part 1, the featured members weren't just Olga, Mash, and Roman, Lev was among them too. Lev never got a focus in part 1, despite his occasional appearances as a mid-boss. He was shuffled out focus because he was one of the many that leads to Goetia. Goetia was the destination... but only for Roman to confront. By himself, Goetia truly has little connection with Chaldea's story or Olgamarie or the Crypters. Who does though?

Lev Lainur Flauros.

"But he's not as important" one might think. Actually, it's this kind of reasoning I had based on my indifference toward the character. Then I realized I wasn't being objective and evaluated what was introduced by Nasu before, during or after Part 1 to notice that Nasu considers him very important. Here's a small recap.

The first Fate/Grand Order related media, published before the game launch, Clocktower 2015, has Lev as the main character. Not our Lev, but one from apparently Mahoyo and Tsukihime setting. That Lev has three personas-egos (that have different preferences, ways to speak, etc), with "Mr. Flauros" being the one that uses the same pronouns and has a similar characterization to our Lev. The difference is that Flauros chooses to commit suicide in 2015. Nasu calls him "unsung hero" who saved those worlds. How can he be unimportant? 

Then there's Epic of Remnants framing Flauros not as one-dimensional bad guy: Zepar bring up Flauros reported the Seraphix organization as one of the causes of "unobservable region" which made him being the one interested in the Animuspheres' dirty laundry. Secondly, in Salem, the Queen of Sheba summon to counter Raum was thanks to Flauros, it was Lev who connected Sheba with his SHEBA Lenses. He made those. 

We also have the anime specials fleshing out Lev (and Olga!). His role in Fate/Moonlight Lostroom has him as a sympathetic and reasonable individual. Same with his scene with Romani when they talked about Mash in episode 0. Why bother humanizing him so much to FGO players? 

Finally, he has a large role along with Olgamarie in Melty Blood Backalley Nightmare manga. I have tirelessly pointed out that manga has roughly some outline or setting up Cosmos in the Lostbelt, and the resolution of that had to do a lot with Olga talking to Lev and showing she changed. Once again, it hints Lev is the one who knows something fishy was with the family (not Goetia, but Lev), and this began over two thousands years ago. This was supervised by Nasu himself.

(The original main cast promotion: Master and Mashu are in another page).

Furthermore, among these, Moonlight Lostroom special was the prelude to part 2, and brought Olga back and gave her a large focus. But it also focused on Lev and his relationship with Olga. How they met for the first time. I assumed it was meant to give them closure, but re-watching it three things stand out. Lev asks a very important question to Olga and Olga does not answer him. The parallel of Olga-saying-goodbye-to-Guda and Lev saying goodbye to her; if first was not closure then second certainly is not either (and Lev leaves because he's going to be "busy"). Finally, Lostroom also brings back not just Lev and Olga, but Roman too (although we don't see his face, we see his outline of body and hear him talking). Unlike the Mash -who is likely Galahad, the “Observer” playing her role as is the only one who never spoke of dreams or is showed dreaming- Roman self-awareness of things and his chat about his dream give a hint that he is too a dreamer, like Guda, Lev and Olga. There's also a fourth dreamer whose label matches the meaning of Roman's name, although is not explicitly stated to be him, it’s easy to fill the blanks.

I need to make a pause here, if Waltz in the Moonlight Room explain the Moonlight Room is a Singularity, the mode in the OVA isn't about "Moonlight" connected to Roman but "Lostroom". I have a feeling the nature is closer to a Lostbelt and this is produced by Chaldea. In Waltz, Crane cannot send sounds or emotions to the past for a living Doctor Roman to see, but in Lostroom.... Roman awakes Guda in present-day 2017 where Guda is dreaming (or maybe his soul slipped into a simulation?). He's not the past Roman, the dream isn't taking place in the past, it's taking place in the present (2017) since the beginning. Why I stress this with Roman? Because if it's not the past and Olga and Lev leave to play their roles for part 2, Roman "disappears" after Lev walks away, except he doesn't, as I noted, he is there to awake Guda... but his body is not! 

The last scene of the Lostroom is someone picking up a ring of the Temple. What if like Carter and Raum in Salem except a willing loan, it is Lev using Lostroom Roman body and thus gives him access to Solomon’s abilities if he has his blessings and permission (or perhaps Roman is dormant like the Clocktower Lev other two egos when one is in control. Furthermore, in part 2 we have an example with Sigurd and Surtr: Surtr could use part of his powers and saint graph via possession of the manifested Saber Sigurd, although it was not a willing deal it could very well foreshadow how Lev is using those powers and abilities)? Moments before that, priestess appeared when Guda awake and we know is connected to Olga. Lev and Olga leave the room (Roman’s body too disappears). Priestess and presumably Person of Chaldea appear next.

(Olga and Lev in the cover of that crossover manga, just to highlight their visual relevance to foreshadowing of part 2. Roman is also present in this manga, he has a small cameo, but the active actors from FGO are those two)

"But what about the game? This is all nice but what are the in-game hints?" I think that the way this person introduces himself is a huge hint. He claims to be a member of Chaldea (and as I pointed out when I started how he's calling himself could simultaneously mean "people of Chaldea" and not just a singular member, so it could acknowledge is Lev and Roman even if it's Lev who is doing all these things). The pronouns he uses all match Lev, the personality is similar to Lev too when he's serious and cranky instead of when he's relaxed. He mentions too about the different reactions he gets for having his “visage”, the human visage is a novelty but maybe is pointing out how Roman’s specific appearance is new. And it’s here, where I compare the “Goetia vs Lev” possibilities: while Goetia had the advantage of having Independent Manifestation which this man seems to have, so Nasu would need to explain hat if it’s Lev as I brought up in the beginning, then there’re other evidence supporting Flauros theory. The face isn’t new to Goetia, he once used it to trick Mash in Babylonia, but is new to this guy. Furthermore when he pretends to be Roman, his dialogue is placed with brackets, as if he’s “quoting” Roman speech. When Goetia pretended to be Roman or Solomon, his dialogue was never placed between brackets. 

Additionally, the quote I used to introduce this has Kirschtaria and the Chaldean act passive-aggressive to each other. Kirschtaria also seems to know him ("persuasive as usual") and calls him "mage."  He had the nerve to bring up how the Crypters were saved by the "God" from the brink of death, he's saving Chaldea from a similar situation that the "God" wanted them to be (the priestess is inciting to their destruction a scene before). It balances it out. Now, the exchange gains even another layer if he's Flauros-Lev who put Team A on the brink of death and now is doing the opposite: saving Guda and Mash from that situation.

Speaking of parallelism. In the prologue of Atlantis, Chaldean talks about Chaldea’s journey on each lostbelts and what each represented and evoked during his conversation with Musashi:

In Salomon, Flauros does a similar thing (with a talent to poetically match the description and wording) about Chaldea’s journey across the Singularities:

Now, now, some parallels don't work because Lev/Flauros warns about Holmes (or if he’s innocent, the “person you can’t fully trust”) when Holmes warned about Roman. But if we think "Chaldean" as "Chaldeans" with (Lostroom?) Roman's body and passive presence perhaps to Lev's active ego, then it does fit. It matches the Opening too. In the Opening there is no Solomon or Goetia, there is Lev and Romani showed together. Which, IMO, isn't just about "nostalgic part 1 Chaldea" when Da Vinci is missing! And this is also part of the final consideration for this theory, which is still green and could be just a wild and fanciful wishful thinking. Parallelism, mirror scenes, the Opening also brings back a familiar sight: Fuyuki Singularity and Saber (Saber Alter?). We might return to it, Mash and Guda, will walk into those streets again. Who else was involved in that adventure aside from the Servants? Olga, Roman, and Lev. 

(Who knows though. To drive further the mirror and opposite parallelism - If the one who ends up saving Olga -whatever this means since Nasu doesn’t just make it equal to save one’s life- is Lev).

Edit: A friend from twitter (exceddius) just observed in our chat that the background colors of the snapshot with Lev and Roman in the OP somehow match with the ones in the scene of the Chaldean, but are the only place in the Opening they are used in the same combination:

The red is from the fight below, but his background color is blue and magenta (ignoring the light coloured clouds and details that are because is an outdoors spot lighting rather than an inside one). It seems kinda distinctive visual effect to give a similar color association between the scenes:

[morsking]

mash's not gudao/ko's girlfriend canon wise though. they're just master and servant, and friends. and with amount of theories about marisbury the most unexpected thing for Nasu is to make him actually being dead all that time.

it was mostly a joke but if you wanna get obnoxiously technical about it nasu has stated the relationship between gudao and mash is romantic in nature and the official eor manga depicts gudako and mash being intimate enough that they might as well be a couple.

if marisbury is dead for real then whatever, fine. maybe there’s another mastermind nasu can pull out of his ass that will still make sense in one form or another. but far too many type moon antagonists have refused to stay dead and like i said ensuring the survival of mankind is a task far too important for anyone other than marisbury himself to be in charge of it. marisbury would not trust the daughter he rejected and all but disowned (among other things), and i don’t think he’d trust even kirschtaria with it no matter how much of a genius kirschtaria is because mr. prettyboy goldilocks is also self-destructively kind and a crap judge of character to boot. 

besides, if solomon could come back from the dead as a servant and as romani archaman, and solomon and marisbury have parallels as master and servant, then that is enough reason to believe MAYBE marisbury is still out there in some form or another until we can put him in the ground for good but not before he answers for the things he has done.

so far playing fgo ive discovered i have feelings for mr romani archaman.

       “She’s being fussy today. Her nose keeps running and — Gray, please.” Handkerchief in hand, Waver made every desperate attempt to wipe his daughter’s nose. It wasn’t like her to be cranky, most of the time she was a well mannered young little lady, but having her father trying to get her to blow her nose in front of the entire daycare probably was somewhat embarrassing. But he couldn’t have her running off to play while dripping snot everywhere! She would only have a note sent home with her instructing him that he should pack some extra tissue in her bag, wipe her nose beforehand, and blah, blah, blah. Everything he had already heard before when it came to ensuring his daughter didn’t rub her nose on the back of her hand or whatever other gross things children tended to do.

       Sitting in one of the little kid chairs, Waver tried to avoid Romani’s stare as he fussed with Gray’s tiny hands pushing away the handkerchief. “Papa, noooo! I... I wanna play! Mash is here!” Her little voice whined and bottom lip trembled as she looked to the other small girl across the room, bouncing ever so when Mash started to walk toward them. Ah, so that was it. Playing with her friend was far more important, hm. “Is that so?” Waver answered, glancing up to Romani with a slight grin. “If you don’t blow your nose, Mr. Archaman won’t allow you to play with Mash. He’s a doctor, you know. Isn’t that right?”

Four hearts are better then two

Doing another DanAya/RexCoatl fic, kind of a sequel to the last one. This one's a long one.

Rex and Ayako are in the simulator practicing for potential scenarios that could come up on the field.

Ayako: *walking up a hill with Dantes, finds a simulated shadow servant at the top of a tower* there's one of the targets.

Dantes: how do you want to take them out?

Ayako: stealthily sounds like a good idea. Serenity!

*Hassan of the Serenity comes to Ayako's call*

Serenity: yes master?

Ayako: I need you to sneak up on the shadow servant at the top of the tower and take them out.

Serenity: it shall be done *she goes to take out the target*

Dantes: hey, shouldn't you tell master Rex that you found a target?

Ayako: I'm sure it'll be fine, he's probably off finding another target.

*on the other side of the tower Rex is climbing another hill with Quetz*

Rex: oh shit that's one of the targets. Time to take them out

Quetz: how are you going to do that master?

Rex: the not so subtle approach. Heyyo Lalter!

Lalter: *rides in on her horse* yes master?

Rex: think Rhongomyniad can reach that fort over there?

Lalter: but of course

Rex: then let's light em up!

Lalter: *charging up Rhongomyniad*

Quetz: mi amor, shouldn't you be telling master Ayako that you found a target

Rex: I think we'll be fine

Quetz: wait what's that?

*the two end up seeing Serenity sneaking towards the target*

Rex: oh fuck that's Serenity

Lalter: wait what?

*but Lalter already shoots off Rhongomyniad*

Quetz: look out! *pushes Lalter to move the beam*

*on the other side*

Ayako: what the hell was that?!

Dantes: looked like Rhongomyniad!

*the shadow servant sees the blast*

Ayako: oh shit he might see Serenity!

Rex: oh shit he saw the beam, he might catch Serenity!

Serenity: *just manages to catch the shadow and use her np on them before it was too late*

Rex: phew!

Ayako: phew!

Romani: *over the intercoms* ok that's enough, simulation's over

Both masters: what?!

Ayako: but there's still more targets for us to take out!

Rex: let us finish atleast!

Romani: no, it's clear you guys need to work on your communication skills before you can continue.

*the simulation ends and both pairs walk out*

Da Vinci: you guys realize things would've ended badly if your servants hadn't been so quick to act right?

Both masters: ...yeah

Romani: back to your rooms for now, we'll discuss the lack of communication another time.

Both: alright...

*both pairs depart*

Romani: well that could've gone better

Mrs. Archaman: ya think!?

Mash: I still feel that if I was there I could've helped make things go smoother.

Da Vinci: Mash, those two need to be prepared for possible scenarios where you all might be separated.

Romani: and they're not doing a good job of it. They barely know each other but they need to become closer if they want to save the world. Imagine if this happened on the field?!

Mrs. Archaman: I guess this is what happens when the last hope for humanity is a pair of recluse.

Romani: anyone got ideas to get them closer.

Da Vinci: ideally they'd figure out on their own that they need to get closer.

Romani: yeah but they seem the type to still struggle confronting their problems even when aware of them. So we have to intervene.

Mash: I have no ideas

Mrs. Archaman: me neither.

Da Vinci: hmmm... Eureka! I got it!

Romani: what is it?

Da Vinci: it's quite genius really! Something only someone of my superior genius could think of!

Mash: Da Vinci, could you please tell us

*at Ayako's studio*

Ayako: well that was a disaster.

Dantes: took the words out my mouth.

Ayako: wish he told me he was gonna unleash the Lazer spear of death so I can get Serenity to retreat.

Dantes: Ayako, I had told you that you could've told him you found a target. Maybe then he wouldn't had unleashed Rhongomyniad in the first place.

Ayako: ...ok, you may have a point. I guess we're both in the wrong with this one.

*in Rex's room*

Rex: well that sucked.

Quetz: si

Rex: kinda wished she told me that she was sending in the kiss of death so I wouldn't have told Artoria to attack.

Quetz: master...

Rex: ...OK yeah. You told me to tell her and I didn't listen. So we both fucked up.

Quetz: exactly master. Please don't try to avoid taking responsibility for your mistakes.

Rex: sorry...

Da Vinci: *over the intercom* Rex, Ayako please come to the control room and bring your partners aswell.

Rex: well then... that can't be good.

Ayako: this won't end well.

*at the control room*

Romani: so as you two already know you don't have very good communication since you barely know each other.

Mrs. Archaman: and since you both barely leave your rooms that's not likely to change very soon

Da Vinci: so I have devised a genius plan to remedy that. Or atleast set you two on the right path.

Rex: I'm already concerned

Ayako: me too

Da Vinci: oh come now you two will love it.

Rex: I'm calling bs.

Da Vinci: anyways, I want you two to go on a double date with your servants!

Both masters: WHAT!?

Rex: why the hell would we do that?

Ayako: yeah, not happening. Right count?

Dantes: hmmm... actually... that's not a bad idea.

Ayako: what!? You're agreeing to this?

Dantes: oh relax, it won't be that bad. And you two need to be closer

Ayako: but not like that

Rex: nope! I can't be doing something like that! Quetz, please don't agree to this I don't want to do it.

Quetz: come on mi amor! It won't be that bad.

Rex: it might be terrible!

Quetz: but I'll be there

Rex: hmmm...

Mash: senpai calming down so quickly after her saying that is... interesting

Da Vinci: that's enough you two, it's going to happen regardless. But tomorrow, so go back to your rooms... and prepare yourselves I guess.

Both: fine! *leaves*

*at the studio*

Ayako: can't believe you agreed to that count. A double date?! We don't even do normal dates. We just hang out.

Dantes: then it sounds like it could be a nice change of pace.

Ayako: *looking at him, annoyed* really?

Dantes: well it's happening anyway so let's just get it over with.

*in my room*

Rex: *silently sitting in bed*

Quetz: master? I'm sorry for doing that but you two need to know each other better.

Rex: *still silent*

Quetz: try to look at the bright side, we haven't been on a date for a while now. And this one might be more fun then you expected.

Rex: *still silent*

Quetz: ...well I'll just go to my room then master

Rex: no! Please stay. I don't want to talk right now but I want to hold you.

Quetz: of course mi amor.

*we embrace each other and lay in bed*

*the next day*

Da Vinci: *over the comms* alright you four, time for your double date! But first you guys need to be dressed for the occasion

*the studio's door opens and there stand Karna, with some clothes*

Ayako: Karna? Why are you delivering the clothes?

Karna: well miss Da Vinci says we're pretty close so she thought I'd be a good choice.

Ayako: I mean I guess that's true. Thanks for the clothes I guess.

Dantes: *holding up the clothes he was sent* isn't this that one mystic code? Royal brand I think it was called.

Karna: miss Da Vinci said she used that mystic code as a base for the male suits.

Dantes: interesting.

Ayako: *holding up a nice fancy blue dress* this is a bit much

Dantes: I think you'd look great in it.

Ayako: yeah yeah whatever.

*in my room, the door opens and in walks Boudica*

Rex: oh hey there Boudica! So you got clothes for us?

Boudica: yup! Gotta say these are some interesting outfits for you two.

Quetz: *holding up a nice fancy green dress* hmmm, this is really fancy.

Rex: *holding up a nice suit* ain't this a bit much for what's essentially a bonding exercise?

Boudica: well it seems like Da Vinci wanted to go the extra mile. Maybe so you guys aren't too upset about being forced into it.

Rex: still annoyed.

Quetz: I think it'll be fun, we haven't been on such a nice date in so long. And I always liked how you looked in a suit mi amor

Rex: *blushing* ok fine...

*everyone's properly changed*

Ayako: ok so now what?

Karna: miss Da Vinci says to take you two to the cafeteria.

Dantes: the cafeteria? With these nice clothes?

Karna: she says she had it changed to fit the atmosphere.

Ayako: is this why she wanted us to wait a day instead just doing like a simulator picnic or something?

Karna: it would seem to be the case. Shall we be off?

Ayako: alright let's get going.

*on Rex's side*

Rex: so she changed the cafeteria to fit a dating atmosphere? Again, this is just a bonding exercise right? At this point it feels more like she wants to celebrate our anniversaries or something and just used the bonding as an excuse. We don't even share an anniversary.

Quetz: I'm actually pretty excited now.

*the four meet-up right outside of the cafeteria door*

Rex: hey you guys

Ayako: hey there

Rex: well.. you guys look good

Ayako: thanks... so do you two.

Rex: ...thanks

Da Vinci: *over comms* it's time for you to take your seats*

Boudica: good luck you four!

Karna: see you later

*the four enter the cafeteria only to see a much darker lighting with different tables with candles on them*

Rex: ...well then, they weren't kidding

Ayako: yeah... where do we sit?

Da vinci: wherever you want, as long as you four are at the same table.

Rex: how about that booth over there?

Ayako: sure

Dantes: sounds good

Quetz: si!

*they sit at the booth, masters next to servants, facing each other*

*Bedivere comes in a waiter's outfit*

Bedivere: hello you four, I am sir Bedivere. I shall be your waiter for today.

Ayako: every second this date goes on the more extravagant it gets.

Bedivere: yes, that would seem to be the case. And here are your menus *passing out menus*

Rex: overkill *goes through the menu*

Bedivere: I'll be back to take your drink orders

Ayako: cool

Dantes: this is actually pretty fun. We should do this stuff more often

Ayako: now I dunno about that.

Quetz: what do you think master?

Rex: it's nice I guess, but it'd make more sense to me for an actual date for us. Not this forced bonding stuff.

Ayako: I agree

*sitting silence for a while, reading the menus*

*Bedivere returns*

Bedivere: have you all decided on your drinks?

Ayako: I'll just have a water

Dantes: a martini

Rex: mountain dew

Quetz: tequila

Bedivere: of course, I'll be back with the drinks

*more silence*

Rex: so... what you eating?

Ayako: I'm just having some spaghetti.

Dantes: I'm thinking alfredo pasta

Rex: cool, I'm having lasagna

Quetz: and I want this chicken parmesan.

Bedivere: *returns with the drinks* and here are your drinks, and have you all decided what your eating?

Everyone: yes

Bedivere: excellent

*after Bedivere takes the orders, he leaves*

Rex: so... Dantes I noticed you're not wearing your hat. And you even have your hair tied up

Dantes: yes, I thought I'd change it up for the event.

Quetz: that blue ribbon looks familiar

Ayako: it was mine, he took it.

Dantes: just something to remember you by.

Rex: oooh, Quetz we should do something like that.

Quetz: but master you don't wear your hair up, and it's too short in the first place.

Rex: I mean... you could wear one of my hats

Quetz: ooooh, sounds nice.

Ayako: that'd be interesting to see, I never imagined her with a hat.

Rex: yeah... hey uh off topic. You like painting right? Who have you painted?

Ayako: pretty much everyone at chaldea so far... except you two

Rex: oh! Good point

Quetz: I would love to be in one of your paintings miss Ayako.

Rex: yeah... same.

Ayako: well maybe after all this we could all go to my studio and I can paint you two.

Rex: that'd be nice

*not far away but out of the group's site*

Da Vinci: what did I tell you guys?

Romani: yeah yeah, your idea seems to actually be working... somehow

Da Vinci: like I said, I'm a genius.

And that's the story

Based off one of the HCs I made for how Rex and Ayako would interact. I REALLY hope I got Ayako's character right.

@panyum hope it's good

Some more Merovinci headcanons!

Da Vinci and Merlin are chronic “we forget to eat for 3 days straight” kinds of people so Romani is always *squints* “have you eaten yet”

Cooking is fun but one of them is always going to end up with something on their face or neck (flour, oil, a bit of sauce etc)

Da Vinci can’t stand seeing fish being prepared in front of her, so Merlin prepares the fish in advance when she isn’t around and gives her warning when he’s going to be cooking it

Da Vinci and Merlin argue over who gets to hold Romani’s hand before they remember “oh yeah he has two”

Romani’s the one who sleeps in the most precarious of positions and then complains about his sore muscles in the morning

They leave what looks to be cute notes for eachother but if you read them they’re actually passive-aggressive things like “stop leaving empty cups everywhere you bitch” “if I see one more sock in the middle of the floor so help me -” “your Magi Mari posters are tearing this family apart”

They go to an amusement park and find out that Romani is terrified of Roller Coasters and Da Vinci is the daredevil who’ll try everything. Merlin gets lost in the crowd, like, five times somehow

None of them can actually drive

Merlin never gets sick. But one day he does get a bit of food poisoning and neither of his partners know how to handle that. It’s chaos

Not officially married but may as well be

Have been addressed with eachothers last names before (eg: Merlin being called “Mr Archaman” or Da Vinci being called “Mrs Wyllt”)
