#radahn x tarnished

[prismatic-starstuff]

god!miquella, reader, consort!radahn sandwich thoughts 👀

It's all contrasts; Miquella's soft and shapely form at your front, Radahn's firm and muscular form at your back. Radahn's two arms are wrapped securely around your waist, squeezing you tight and warm; Miquella's three hands are cupping your cheeks and stroking your head and caressing you so tenderly. Miquella's abundance of golden hair spills over you like a blanket of the finest silk; Radahn's scarlet braids tickle against your skin with his movements.

The main way in which these two don't differ? They are both so focused on you; both giving their Tarnished companion such thorough affections and such dedicated attention. Miquella is utterly fascinated by you, his loyal and devoted one, his sweet follower who captivates his thoughts and loves him even without his charms; and Radahn, amused by the god's adoration and impressed by your battle prowess, truly enjoys your presence too...

And so, it's nowhere near unusual for you to end up sandwiched between them; enjoying the joys of their company as they enjoy yours.

Oooh, for the send me a character prompt, I’d love to hear your thoughts for Radahn!! Hope you have a lovely evening!! ✨

sexcapade story

Radahn and his consort are adventurous lovers. They surprised the fuck out of him once by practically pushing him down on the bed, lifting those massive arms above his head (Radahn was so damn surprised), and riding his ass into oblivion. Our favorite Starscourge was in a daze the next day and turned beet red when Jerren shot him a knowing look.

how do they flirt?

Hehehehe. He's a goofball at heart so corny pickup lines, dad jokes, and displays of his glorious physique (it's Godwyn levels of irresistible and works every time).

what turns them on?

Taking his dad humor and giving the same energy back. Valour, courage, honor, and above all, kindness.

any other random nsfw headcanon that comes to mind.

His consort accidentally pulled his hair in public once and he let out the neediest moan. That's how he learned that he liked having his hair pulled.

Two Radahn x Tarnished commissions 💜 .

[sahaquiel43]

Imagine if the DLC ended with Morgott barging to avenge him...

Or at least a Margit projection if he's too busy in Leyndell.

after hearing the truth, he does one last courtesy to his estranged brother, Mohg, for his dignity.

you, margit/morgott, ansbach

*The final battle is here. Miquella and his puppet against the Tarnished*

*Puppet-Radahn seizes the Tarnished, lifting them up to Miquella. Miquella reaches forward for their heart*

Miquella: I promise you, a thousand year voyage, guided by-

*There's a blast of blue light, burning Miquella's hand and throwing the Tarnished from his grip. Astonished, Miquella looks up... and sees that the moon is somehow, impossibly, in the sky, shinning*

???: My apologies, dearest brother.

*there's a shimmering blue light as a figure appears behind where the Tarnished kneels*

Ranni: But their heart is not thine to steal.

Radahn, SOMETHING breaking through the brainwashing: Sis...ter?

*The Tarnished rises, eyes blazing behind their helm, the Darkmoon Greatsword shining with light. the place where their heart lies iss glowing with moonlight*

Ranni: My dear Consort, eternal. This is mine charge.

*Ranni rises above the battlefield, hovering above and behind the Tarnished, framed by the full moon's light, it's baleful eye turned on those who would be Gods and Consorts*

Ranni: Free mine brothers, Mohg and Radahn both. Strike now, my beloved.

*Miquella shakes his head sadly and tightens his grip on Radahn. The momentary clarity in Radahn's eyes fades, and he roars, summoning up his power. The Tarnished brandishes the Darkmoon Greatsword in one hand, the Carian Regal Scepter in the other, and the place over their heart shines with their Lady's love. Earned, not forced*

*The battle is joined once more, Purple and Blue, Gold and White. Sun and Moon. Ranni and Miquella*

Being in a relationship with Starscourge Radahn consists of:

Out of all the demigods, Radahn (and Godwyn) experiences the easiest transition into a romantic relationship.

Despite this transition, Radahn is incredibly selective about his choice of partner. Watching the way his parents' relationship crashed and burned brutally has had a profound impact on him. He's in it for the long haul, and has that expectation of you, too.

Not if but when it gets to that point, you two will marry. The engagement period will be fairly short because as soon as you say yes, it's off to the altar for him.

Stargazing together and your beloved General sometimes showing you the extent of his magic. You see firsthand why he's called the Starscourge.

Being paraded around. Radahn is very proud to have you as his consort and yes, all of the Lands Between will know of your existence.

Riding on Leonard. Also spoiling Leonard alongside Radahn.

Watching Radahn and his men train because the eye candy is hard to ignore. He knows this and you're convinced he makes every effort to get you flustered.

Alongside Jerren, being one of the few who wholly has his ear. Sometimes you two even team up against Radahn and it's an amusing sight to behold.

Having the privilege of experiencing Radahn the man. He's an open, jovial, and honest fellow to his men but even they don't get to see the Radahn that you see.

Having your own personal body pillow in the form of Radahn. He also doubles as your bed and your throne because... he's massive, okay?

Being subject to his gravity magic sometimes because he's a prankster like that. It's not uncommon to look up and the next thing you know, you're floating midair.

And speaking of gravity magic, he puts it to, uh... good use in the comfort of your bedchamber. 👀

Realizing that Radahn is essentially a cat because it's almost as if he's purring whenever you run your hands through his hair.

And speaking of hair, styling and/or playing with it when you're relatively bored or just... out of habit.

Rennala got the dog in the divorce.

Radahn, Conqueror of the Stars, has loved and lost, and the pursuit of freedom and a promise unfulfilled has kept you two apart for far too long. Desecrated, his soul returns at the Empyrean's bidding, but even Miquella's bewitchment cannot quell his love. You rechallenge him under a gilded sky, intent on freeing the Starscourge from another prison. He answers your challenge with all the glory of a warrior, intent on reclaiming what is and will always be his. You. The Promised's Consort.

Radahn, Conqueror of the Stars, has loved and lost.

But he will not do so again.

I think my favorite part of the dlc’s final boss is how it (can) directly mirror your Tarnished, and by extension, their relationship with Ranni. Obviously, this is coming from me, your resident Ranni glazer who will make everything about her if I can, so please understand this is my interpretation. 

My interpretation is that Miquella/Radahn act as a foil to Ranni/Tarnished, specifically when it comes to the themes of love, consent, and freewill. Now, I know it’s up in the air about how consenual the pact between Radahn and Miquella is. Personally, I see it as non-consensual; Miquella resurrected and controls a puppet of Radahn and/or bewitched him to be his “promised consort.” Given the theme of control with Miquella, I don’t think FromSoft would turn that around on us at the last second. Radahn’s situation is meant to be the final nail in the coffin; a demonstration of what Miquella’s “love” exactly means. Total control over one’s entire self and mind. Anyway, I digress, let’s get into how I see their situation mirroring, and acting as the antithesis, to Ranni and Tarnished. 

First, we’ll examine Miquella and Radahn. Miquella is presented almost throughout the entire game as a beloved figure. He is literally called “Miquella the Kind,” and his actions at the Haligtree paint him as an even more heroic figure. A demi-god who wants to help the weak, the oppressed, and anyone in between who has been scorned by the Golden Order. As we discover in the DLC, Miquella wants to create an “Age of Compassion.” But there’s always a catch, and Miquella’s plan is no exception. Why? Because his new age would remove the free will of everyone by giving him total control of how they feel, act, etc. He’ll make them happy and at peace because they’ll have no choice; they’ll have no self. This is exemplified in literal form with Radahn. The relationship between the two brothers presents itself as a one-sided obsession on Miquella’s part. Though we don't know a ton about them together, I think it’s safe to theorize Radahn didn’t willingly go along with Miquella’s plan. Radahn is canonically a fan of the Golden Order given his admiration of Godfrey and his father, Radagon. I can’t see him wanting to disrupt the current way of things. Plus, I don’t believe Maleania and Radahn would stage a fake war just to get Radahn into a position where he could be resurrected via Mohg. Too many hoops to jump through, so Occam’s Razor says Radahn rejected Miquella. 

Now that’s great and all, but the real meat I want to analyze comes from the actual boss fight, or more specifically, the twos’ body language during the fight. Radahn is an empty shell. He doesn’t have any dialouge aside from small grunts. He doesn’t address us at all, which is entirely unlikely for how he’s been described. He’s a ferocious warlord who values the strength of both his allies and enemies. At the very least, he would address someone as prolific and talented as the PC Tarnished. Yet, he doesn’t. Radahn is literally there to act as “the muscle;” he is the strong and powerful lord that Miquella admired him to be. However, by making Radahn only act like this, Miquella has erased the true essence of what made Radahn. He lacks his soul. Miquella might be the more interesting of the two when it comes to body language. I think Miquella’s theme of control really shines with how he places himself on Radahn during the battle. He is literally draped over Radahn with his arms wrapped around his neck. Obviously, at first glance this is meant to imitate an embrace, solidifying the two as both a team and lovers. Yet, Miquella’s position doubles in meaning when considering his need to control. The arms could represent a collar, with Miquella acting as the leash. His hovering gives off a “helicopter” vibe (for a lack of a better term). While playing I called him a “helicopter parent,” comparing him to where they are constantly looking over your shoulder and trying to direct you. Essentially, Miquella is caging Radahn in his embrace, revealing his need to control the situation and Radahn himself. Miquella is the personification of control; he won’t allow free will to happen because he thinks it causes too much pain and uncertainties. And Radahn, he embodies the fate of those who would live under the Age of Compassion; he is a puppet. Specifically, he is Miquella’s puppet in both battle and love. He doesn’t have a choice in the matter at all. 

So, how is this the antithesis to our beloved blue wife and the Tarnished? Ranni doesn’t appear to help the Tarnished during their fight with the duo, which I’ve seen a few complain about. While I would love to fight alongside my support princess (and I have downloaded the mod lol), I think Ranni appearing would undermine the character FromSoft has established and her relationship with the Tarnished. Ranni is very hands off. She gives her vassals the tools to work with and then tells them to do what they wish with it. She never forces you to do anything you don’t want to. When you confront her about her role in the death of Godwyn, she willingly admits it and then asks you if you’d like to pledge service to her. She doesn’t say, “You know my secrets, therefore you will be in my service so I can keep an eye on you.” Instead, it’s a choice; a choice for someone far below her in class and power, but she gives it to you nonetheless. For Ranni, the ability to choose and live the way you desire is incredibly important. She seems to dislike outside forces messing with the ability to expereince life (as she says feel, see, taste, etc). 

Therefore, in the final battle with Miquella and Radahn, Ranni is there with you via the tools she’s provided and the faith she has in you (you can interpret this as her blessing with the “we will see each other once more”). She doesn’t need to be hovering over you, arms wrapped around your neck; she trusts the Tarnished above all else to succeed and fight for her. But should they choose not to, she’ll be heartbroken but she won’t stop you. As for the Tarnished, our character is not a shell of a person. They are someone teeming with ambition and the will to fight for their chosen successor. They fight because they want to be there and challenge whatever comes to face them; they don’t need Ranni telling them “go fight Miquella and Radahn for me pls.” 

Their “Age of the Dark Moon” also is the antithesis to Miquella’s “Age of Compassion.” Whereas his is about control, Ranni wants to remove all outer god influence from the world. She wants people to experience their lives without the intervention of any god; to experience life on their own terms, whether they want otherworldly guidance or not. She literally takes her order and leaves the planet (?) with it and you. 

Ok, that’s enough of me rambling about whatever the fuck comes to my sleep deprived mind. I have a flight to catch in three hours, so I’m gonna leave it here. In closing, Ranni good I love her very much mwah<3

THERE ARE TWO MORE TREE SENTINELS IN THE DLC THAT YOU CAN FIGHT AND STILL NOT ENOUGH FANFICS

[pach-inks]

Of course, I had to give my elden ring oc some endings happy/sad, and of course I fell for the Big ass rotten bastard of Radahn. Also I thought that like Malenia, what if when we completed the end of frenzied flame we got wings, like a moth, unlike the butterflies, as to represent all of the darkness rising to the light of the flame, some sketches tho, I'll try to tidy them up!
