#quietly pushing my trans Sarevok agenda almost a decade after I first latched onto it lmao

[lamortwrites]

lmao you know i want to ask about horny unethical scientific experimentation BUT i also want to hear about tamoko... the never ending struggle

both of these are from bloodborne au! I flipped a coin for this and it assigned you Tamoko :)

(cw for briefly referenced/implied necrophilia)

"Then what--?" Labrys shakes their head, tries to keep their cool. "You have omitted too many details. Explain."

"Just one detail, actually. That is all that is important to you. Do you know why the line of succession follows the female line in your family?"

They shake their head, anger finally sparking its way through the confusion that has wrapped around their mind. "What does it matter? I know Orin should have been the heir. I know Sarevok only inherited because his sister died when they were young. What does any of that have to do with me? With-- with my mother?"

"Sarevok never had a sister. That was a lie he fabricated to explain the changes in himself. The day his sister died was the day he became Sarevok. Do you understand?"

"No," they try, but it's not entirely true. "You said-- you said he was my blood, but not my father."

"I did."

"Then who is my father?"

"Not who," she corrects, and they feel ill. They cannot get the thought of Melodia out of their mind: that bloated, beached whale of a creature, corpse white and not quite rotting, the song of her blood so loud it had set their teeth aching.

"I don't understand," they try again, but this time it's a plea -- one which she ignores.

"Try harder," she says unkindly. "You have old blood of your own here. Don't tell me you haven't thought to experiment."

They turn away from her. Cross to the window, the ornate stained glass that looms over them. But it is Aylin's eyes that look down at them, and the weight of their old friend's gaze does nothing to help them quell the rising nausea within themselves.

Enver has suggested it, of course. After all, if the blood can heal, what is to say it cannot also create life? Ketheric has never explained how Isobel came to be, whether the womb of a corpse can still bear new life or whether she was conceived outside of it. But Ketheric could not have carried her, even if she was artificially conceived, not in the way that Enver's failed experiments -- that their mother -- that Sarevok could.
