#reversed fates au

[lanternlightss]

hmmm… i wonder how canon might have turned out if gunnhildr and the red-haired warrior were the ones to have died, while amos and nameless bard lived.

(green // blue means two main options, red means i need to think about it more)

The main details I'm figuring out right now are

does Celebrimbor still die at Eregion - I don't think he's getting captured/tortured, but he could still die in the battle. On the other hand, he could probably survive by using Narya & Lomion using Nenya, but that would definitely have repercussions further down the line

how does Idril's deal work - I'm currently thinking of Idril exchanging the location of Gondolin for her family's guaranteed safety, because it seems in character for Reverse Idril? But on the other hand, even if I limit it to immediate family at the time of the oath (tuor, turgon, earendil) then idk where turgon dies? Maybe Maglor can kill him but that seems kind of random

where and how does Turgon die

how does Prince Elrond's character even work

how does Numenor still fall when factoring in Prince Elrond - I'm thinking that the morgoth death cult gained enough traction during the time sauron was there that even after Elrond kicks him out, the cult still sticks around and reemerges later? The Fall still happens, but they never go to attack valinor and there's a good deal more Faithful (maybe 40-60%?)

Reversal of Fate (It is Never Easy)

Title: Reversal of Fate (It is Never Easy)

Chapter: 1/??? ( Chapter List Post: Here )

Fandom: Hollow Knight

Chapter Character(s): The Pure Vessel/Sealed Vessel, mentions of Radiance, mentions of Ghost/Hollow Knight, mentions of Hornet

Chapter Warnings: Canon typical violence, gore, body horror, psychological torment, time shenanigans, Hollow (Sealed Vessel) is not having a good time and likely is not going to have a good time for a long while.

Chapter Summary: A cycle, a circle to not be broken until one or the other meets their end, or until another takes their place in this routine. Yet, unbroken circles repeat, and even one who is meant to be empty has wishes that may or may not be heard. For better or worse.

So, this may or may not ever be finished because oh god it's been ages since I did anything fandom related, but this idea would not leave my head after playing Limbus Company and reading the asks of @dairyfreenugget regarding their sixth knight AU and it made an idea go off in my head. Because the vessels are creations of three gods, and PV contained a fourth...what if this and the fact that they basically built their entire existence on saving people unlocked something in them.

Aka I'm torturing PV with being stuck in a timeloop until they figure out it is a timeloop they can control and then giving them the ability of Dante from Limbus Company to make things even worse/better.

Drip…Drip…Drip…Drip…

It was a constant almost hypnotic noise in the black and silence that was the egg. A black that remained, even with the harsh glow of infection as it spread and took root within the walls of the temple. Within them.

Drip…

It was a blackness that comforted them, even as it also cut deeply into old wounds when She would remember their existence and throw Herself at the confines of their mind and existence in shrieking rage and deep, deep hatred.

Drip…

Soothing and reminding of the only home that they could freely claim as home. The Void they had foolishly climbed out of in their curiosity and stubborn want to see what the light was that softly glowed above them and their siblings.

Drip…

What a fool they had been, they had known they would never be what the Pale King needed, what Hallownest needed. They had never been Pure. They had failed before they had begun, because they had wanted to please and that had been their greatest flaw. Nothing truly empty can ever want.

(Nothing empty can ever love, but was that such a horrible thing? To be alive and thus want what all that live want?)

Drip…

Existence in the egg was a cycle, a pattern, a routine…bone deep agony throbbing in time with the drip of infection leaking slowly and steadily from their own body, mixed with the crushing solitude and guilt of what they were failing at, breaking at. Then She would appear either a steady creep of orange tinting the inside of their mind until it was all they could see, or a rushing and crushing tide that buried and drowned them in Her anger and rage until they choked and sputtered on it. Only for Her to grow bored or find something else interesting outside of them, amidst the connection of infected that roamed the corpse of Hallownest.

SILENCE

Something cracked within them, the pain much like when their arm had burned and been pulled viciously from socket as the infection had clung and pulled like garlands on the walls when they had first slipped and She had rushed to push and shove Her influence into the world outside of the dark that was their existence. Yet they felt nothing give or fall, or felt the…amused satisfaction that She had given when She began to be able to break them both in dreams and in the physical. No, something else had happened and they had no clue what as images and sounds flooded in overwhelming in the silence that had suddenly overtaken. Amidst this was the feeling of being whole, but that was impossible. They had been brokenbrokenkilledSIBLINGRUNAWAY.

Silence

They dreamed in the dark, whole and still holding on to the facsimile of being a Pure Vessel. They dreamed of another so familiar and small. Of this tiny Ghost who had appeared and roamed the dying roads of this Kingdom they had failed to protect and in the end stumble on a way to them and they could not stop what She made them do, even in death their corpse was Her puppet and Ghost had fought and won and the chains had taken them and sealed them away with Her inside and they had SCREAMED.

Drip…

Ah, their mask was cracked again and they could feel the pain and pressure as the infection leaked and clung from the socket down their arm before creeping, pulling as it attached to a wall and yanked. The pop deafened by Her shriek of triumph as they felt the swell and flow of the infection seep and ooze somehow out of the egg and back into the minds and halls of the kingdom.

Drip…

Yet it was and wasn’t what they knew. They had felt this before hadn’t they? What of the dreams of a sibling? Oh, there was a sibling that escaped, a sibling that yet lives? Was this just a new dream of Her making? No, there was no triumphant over this new torture. No remarks or goading. What was it then?

Drip…

What was it then?

Drip…

The cycle repeated. Again, and again. Dark to Light to Dark to Light. Solitude to Pain to Solitude to Pain. Over and over.

Drip…

Over and Over.

Drip…

(The cycle reverses, yet the one it is meant to help is unaware. How long Hollow Knight, will you repeat your penance before you see?)

What?

SILENCE

A crack and images again, but different. They were whole and alone in the black of the egg once more. Yet the dreams were the same and yet different. The sibling the Ghost again, arriving and exploring and seemingly set on a path to open the temple. Yet it was different things were different while still the same and they were fighting dreams and they learned, and there was scarlet light flickering like flames in the shadows and tents of red and black in that little town above the well. They fought again and tried desperately to make their sibling fleefleelfee yet it did not end with their death and the sealing of their sibling. No, the gendered child, little Hornet, all grown and capable, had bound their infected fueled corpse and Ghost had done something and there was orangeorangorangeorange. She had died and they remembered helping void in the orange helping to hold Her still. Then they had shattered and faded, but were back here alone with Her in the dark.

Tick…Tock…Tick…Tock….Tick……Tock………….Tick………………….

Drip…

(What is it that you are truly wishing for? Deep in your heart that you would accept the pain of hell to see it come true?)

can we talk about how wrong the finish line ending is. can we talk about how barry sees snapping thawne's neck as their point of no return when thawne directly expressed hope barry can still live up to his idealised expectations several times and even spoke of how exactly he can achieve that. can we talk about how barry while having the best intentions fucks with thawne's speed and timeline resetting him to a humble curator with no powers and makes their situation a THOUSAND times worse when thawne comes back as reverse-flash because that reset is a direct and ultimate confirmation of barry's desire to forget thawne and make it like he never existed (the very thing that motivates thawne to mess with barry at all, the very thing he went insane about and which led him to becoming reverse-flash) and how thats similar to creation of the flashpoint which was done with good intentions and changed the world forever even after being undone. can we talk about how it also resembles lobotomy as in permanently fucking up persons brain and its necessary functions to make them more calm and controllable in their mental illness instead of actually helping them which takes a lot more time thought and effort and how that was a quick and seemingly effective but inherently destructive solution. can we talk about how barry by taking away eobard's powers also takes his freedom from societal expectations and standards of his time he clearly didnt fit in and 25th century in general. can we talk about how barry also took the only good memories thawne ever had aka their moments together and especially their first meeting which thawne saw as perfect and held very dearly just like any other interaction with barry including the reverse era ones. can we talk about how fucking intrusive, invalidating and selfish is the whole concept of erasing any kind of memories from another persons brain, no matter how hurtful or bad or self-sabotaging those can be especially involuntarily and how only the said person should have control over that because that is their damn life. can we talk about what such betrayal will do to a man who previously became the reverse-flash just because of one single phrase that he thought was something special only between him and barry. can we talk about how this time thawne paradoxically didnt even do anything to deserve that because he never met barry and never had such possibility in the first place. can we t

I’ll take 5 headcanons on the Silrah reverse!AU to go please 😘

I love that I now have a little collection of AU asks, but this one's relatively easy so I'm gonna start with it. 😁

Context: but not for thee (on AO3)

1. Farah is still the one to reach out to Bloom, despite not being a fairy. Saul convinces her to do so, even if he's the one who's been aware of Bloom, because he realises that there would be all sorts of questions and unfortunate implications if he did it instead.

2. The oath she swears to him is something of a formality, but it also invokes magic far older than either of them realise at the time. The bond grows from it, unexpected but hardly unwelcome.

3. She had been paired with many fairies before him, to the point that it had become something of a backhanded compliment. "Let Dowling work with the difficult ones -- she can match anyone." It's true enough; she's figured out how to work with all sorts of people through the years, holding back what she has to of herself in order to fit in. She didn't realise, until the first time they ran a simulator drill together, that he was the first partner she'd had where she didn't feel like she had to hold back.

4. He lost his father to the Burned Ones at ten, the same age that he made his first and second kills in rapid succession -- the same age where he lost all that was his in the world. If he clings to her a little more than he should as a consequence of this, she never comments on it, and he never asks why she understands. She'll tell him when she's ready.

5. This Farah is terrible at doing anything fancy with her hair. It's one of the few things that tries her patience -- give her the practicality of braids any day. (The reason she doesn't just cut it short is another of those things she doesn't talk about, tied to the family she never mentions.) Saul does her hair for formal occasions instead, and while he'll always use his air magic to pin it up, he relishes the chance to take it down at the end of the night even more, using his fingers instead as he finds each and every one of the hairpins he'd slipped into place earlier. Sometimes he uses more pins than he should, but neither of them is inclined to complain about the result.

I've seen the concept of reversed 5th HGW servant-master au floating around and this came from the idea of master!archer, but how would that come to be? then I thought, what if demiservant archer??

the following is a list of unorganized ideas elaborating on the concept of master!archer in reversed servant-master au in my head. Sorry if there r plot points that contradict canon facts on fundamental level I'm really not a lore buff lol

The 4th HGW (for the sake of justifying a completely out there au the detail of the war doesn't necessarily follow f/zero) ended prematurely, Irisviel and Kiritsugu went back to Einzbern Castle to prepare for the next HGW.

Shirou was caught in the crossfire between servants and was injured in such way (curse?) that that Kiritsugu has to bring him to Einzbern Castle to provide him with more advanced healing methods.

Jubstacheit (yea I copy n pasted his name) decided that Shirou is simply not worth the hassle n declared him to be a subject for their work. (Kiritsugu probably realistically would've expected this tbh)

[insert elaborate nasuverse high concept relating to demiservant here]

Maybe Shirou's curse caused the death of the soul but not the body, and the idea is to make a heroic spirit occupy the body?

Archer is summoned in Shirou's body but without possessing any memory due to the imperfect summoning (on top of how apparently highly difficult it is to create demi servant) basically taking over thinking he's a living human.

Speaking of being highly difficult, how is it even plausible to happen at all? I guess I can justify it with Shirou and Archer being highly compatible since Archer IS shirou? Also there's somewhat a precedence in Prisma Illya on miyuverse!Shirou's case

From outside perspective the result of the ritual also made it seem like they revived Shirou somehow with the benefit of possessing an unknown heroic spirit's capabilities, but due to their imperfect methods the extent of his abilities is limited.

Over the years Einzbern trains n tests Archer in hope of drawing out as much of the heroic spirit's capabilities as possible and learning more about demi servant.

It is quickly discovered that Archer specializes in projection magecraft. One thing leads to another, and the Einzbern begins to entertain the idea of utilizing Archer's ability to project powerful magical tools, and with each attempt to do so of course takes a toll on his body, leading to, you guess it, having the colors burnt out of his physical features.

Kiritsugu feels deep guilt for the fate of the boy he thought he could rescue. Instead, the normal boy who should've led a mundane, peaceful life now has to be the subject of mages' inhumane practices. Similar to him in Prisma Illya, his goal shifts and he chooses to bring happiness to his family (yeah that includes Archer). This leads him to begin thinking of the plan to defect against Einzbern.

As the 5th HGW approaches, Team Kiritsugu moves in to Fuyuki City and disguises themselves as an ordinary family, with their oldest son enrolling to Homurahara High School (this is Emiya Family's happiness propaganda therefore anything is justified even if it doesn't make sense).

yea that's all I got

after passing out for several hours I went through several moments of epiphany bc im dumb. A servant summoning another servant has been a thing since fsn..

love the role reversal idea do you have an ao3 so i can subscribe for updates?

thank you! and yes I do! I went ahead and put the role reversal au up here different places (different fate?) with part 1 and part 2 in one chapter, but heads up that I am probably going to keep doing two parts to a chapter as I continue it so updates will be slower on ao3

soulmate au with percy and reader. i was thinking like reader is like a complete nobody at camp and the daughter of some not really known god. percy and reader meet by accident and they figure out they are soulmates. percy at first didn’t want anything to do with it because he had feelings for annabeth but comes around.

Percy Jackson x Fem!reader. (Soulmate au)

-£ Pictured a older version of book Percy, but imagine them staying a camp or coming late.

-£ words: 1.5 words

-£ warnings: Angst, rejection, jealousy, I love annabeth, percy being mean? Idk. Anyway kinda short. What can I say, I love a man with dark hair who has sass?🤷‍♀️

“Do you ever wonder who you’re soulmates is?” percy sat on the log near the cliff looking over the sunset. annabeth keeping her eyes on the forest below, smiling softly as the orange sun hit her skin.

“I’m not worried about it, they will come to me when the time is right.” she replied with a calm voice.

percy could help himself from looking down at her hand and slowly inching his hand near hers. the marking was just late. he knew that she was his soulmate. how could she not be after everything they went through? besides no one knew him like she did.

fate is a funny thing.

because the person who was chosen to be his, and his alone wasn’t the girl he sat next to. it was you. you barely had any contact with percy. never even spiking a word to each other and yet the world still twined you together.

looking back on it he wished he reacted in a nicer way then he did. anything other then what he did, even faint.

he was running a pile of arrows to the archery training ground when he ran into you. as soon as your eyes met the world was slow for just a second and colors shined brighter then they did. in that moment you both felt something that was more then the gods. something even the gods can’t touch.

“woah,” you whisper with your hands still held onto the arrows he was trying to give to you. his hands didn’t stop clinching onto the wood, he couldn’t believe it.

you blink at him for him to do something other then stand there and stare with a open mouth. sure this type of thing wasn’t normal but he didn’t even move a inch.

but you wished he had stayed quiet, “Look, I um..” he let go of the things you two shared and took a step back with hasted.

“I have to run.” you watched him run off like there was nothing important to keep him here.

At first you thought that he was just shy, in shock, and didn’t know what to say. but you soon figured out he wanted nothing to do with you. you followed him around and tried to talk to him at every chance you got but he would always slip from your fingers.

cornering him in the woods at night wasn’t the best idea but you had but there was not other choice. it didn’t feel good to have your soulmate avoid you.

“There is a mistake.” his voice echoed through the woods, “I feel nothing for you. I am sure you are amazing, but you are not my soulmate.”

he watched the tears pool into your eyes like the waves he controlled. taking a step back from the news from his lips that crushed your soul. “I am in love with another.”

Licking your lips you roll your eyes to try and stop the tears forming. “it’s annabeth isn’t it?” he couldn’t deny it even if he wanted to. the silence he gave when he opened his mouth but nothing came out told you everything you needed to know.

“I do hope you live a happy life,” you walked closer to him only inches away, “especially when she finds her soulmate.” you walked past him and down the dirt path back to your cabin where you broke down.

fate was twisted and cruel for giving you him.

day and night you thought about him. and day and night you got worse. everyone could see the toll of being rejected but no one new by who. not a soul knew about you and percy and you honestly liked it that way. no pity glances when they hung out together. 

soulmate depression was a serious thing and could lead one down to a never reversible illness. your eyes lost their light, no one ever saw you smile, looking as dead like as possible. every positive feeling in your body was drained out.

annabeth looked over at you at diner time as you stared at the plate in front of you, sitting at the edge of the bench. “It’s terrible,” she said and picked at her food with a fork. “I hope they come around.”

the trio stared at you in pity, one of them feeling guilt. “It’s a really bad case, I feel so bad.” Grover looked sad as he almost cried himself. love was supposed to be for real, that’s what soulmates were for! If he had one he would never let them get like that.

Percy found himself studying the girl. Her hair messy, her face grime and eyes blank and darker then the last time he looked in them. And Percy was the cause.

“Yeah,” the black hairy boy turned and poked at his food.

It has been week since then and a weight sunk in his stomach when he thought of you, which was almost every moment now. He thought about how you would smile before and how he wanted to see that again. He really thought he liked annabeth but each day that feeling went away.

Maybe he could think things over. But how could he apologize? Would you still want him?

But as Percy thought over the war in his head you moved on. Or as much as you could. there was a sickness in your body but you tried to fight it and spent time with your friends.

one boy took you in quickly. the two of you now glued at the hip and he was the only one who seemed to make you smile now.

“Dude,” Grover knocked his shoulder with his own, “What did he do to you?”

The son of Poseidon darted his eyes lowly at some boy. The way you smiled ever so sweetly like he has been wishing to see for weeks but this- This guy could cause it easily. And those small laughed he could hear so faintly in his ears.

“Nothing.” Percy stated while still glaring at the guy heavily.

the satyr nodded but lingered his eyes on his friend for a few seconds. clearly not believing him one bit.

“I have to tell you something,” he pulled his eyes away from you and to his friend. Guilt covering his face. “You know how y/n got reflected by her soulmate?” his voice shaky.

“Of course, it was hard to watch.” He answered. It didn’t take long for him to connect the dots when Percy lifted his brows as a sign. Grover gasped loudly.

“You did- Oh my god’s. How could you?” His mouth was then covered by Percy as he shh’d him.

Percy took a big breath as he held his hand over his mouth, “I’m not proud of it. It was just, I didn’t feel like we could be. I thought me and annabeth were soulmates until they came along,” he turned his eyes back to your direction to find you laughing slightly with your friends.

“I was terribly wrong.”

As much as Grover was mad at his friend he could see the guilt and regret on his face. He helped him come up with a plan, and gave him a very long lecture about love. Annabeth found out, and cursed him out. Saying that the marks don’t lie and was overly upset he could do that for her.

it took a week of long work for him to build up the courage to finally talk to you.

lucky he knew exactly where you would be. in the same stop he saw you for the first time as his soulmate. In the training grounds. You had been walking back to your cabin looking as beautiful as always even with your gloomy change.

you had a basket in your hand. you hummed quietly and kept your eyes on the dirt path underneath your feet. you were too out of it to hear him walking from behind you. “Y/n.” He called your name.

turning around startled you are met with him smiling at you. the boy who broke your heart standing there with a warm smile on his face as if he didn’t do anything wrong.

“Percy.” You whisper and step back. “I um…Do you need something?” you were shaking almost.

He got closer slowly as he got more awkward by the second, “can we talk?” you were hesitant to expect his offer but you nodded.

“I want to apologize for rejecting you. I felt horrible watching you- Well, get like this.” He kept getting closer and you didn’t know if you should run away or scream at him.

“I was wrong. You are the girl for me.” He saw the tears flood in the corner of your eyes and your lips tremble

“you think that’s enough?” you didn’t yell but he could sense the harsh tone in your voice. And you have that right.

“No, not really.” his frowns. Knowing he needed to do more.

“But I’m willing to work as hard as I need to. If you will have me?”

His green eyes filled with sorrow. the feeling to leave him here, with nothing like he did to you. But you couldn’t. You felt better in his presence as he looked at you.

“I’ll allow it, but we take this slow.” All he could do was smile again and nod his head in understanding.

even if you didn’t trust him. he healed your heart in the matter of seconds.
