/snicker/ Jean AU.

Featuring Jovan Izunia, the everyone-knows-but-no-one-acknowledges-it bastard offspring of Ardyn Izunia and Iedolas Aldercapt.

(Iedolas ignores his existence, and Jean is /fine/ with that.)

oh no

you’ve given me an IDEA

that idea being, word gets out that Jean is Iedolas’ son while Jean is in Insomnia and Jean is promptly brought in and seriously debates killing the Emperor of an entire nation.

 (Not for the first time either. Iedolas is an ASSHOLE and Jean would very much like to stab his face.)

@sparklecryptid

Jean is very much aware that his asshole of a biological donor is only alive because 1) Ardyn finds him vaguely amusing and 2) He’s somewhat useful when it comes to having a puppet on he throne. Jean is also 100% aware that if Iedolas goes too far or if Jean asks his dad for it as a gift, Ardyn will happily slaughter the man and give Jean his head on a silver platter.

He’s seriously debating asking Ardyn for it now. Now, when he’s being Formally Detained by the Lucian Government on unspecified charges, and Crowe is laughing her ass off in the background.

“You said that your dad had bad taste in romantic partners, but you didn’t say it was that bad!”

Jean ignores her. “If you’re trying to use me against the Emperor, you should know that he ignores my existence and doesn’t give a damn about me.”

Luche probably just. Collapses when his daughter is presented to him - falls to his knees, rocks her back and forth, and cries when his daughter calls him ‘dada’.    

@hamelin-born

Whelp. I guess this is canon now. Have a thing.

Luche stands to the side, watching as people reunite with lost loved ones, and tries to pretend that he isn’t jealous. It doesn’t work nearly as well as he wants it to and that alone makes him feel guilty. He just. He sees the smiles and tears and he wonders -

But he had stopped hoping for things a long time ago.

(He still remembers that day. Remembers running back home, towards the billowing cloud of smoke, sprinting, his legs burning, lungs screaming at him. His home is a ruin, his neighbors’ bodies strewn across the street like they were little more than trash to be tossed aside.

He finds his mother in the cove a few minutes from their house. Their cove, he’d called it when he was small. It was the place his mother had taught him to swim, shown him how to hunt for shellfish. Where she taught him how to fall and throw knives and the right way to curl his hand into a fist so he wouldn’t break his thumb when he punched something.

There are a dozen MTs scattered on the ground in pieces.

His mother is slumped over on her side, MT oil coating her hands and smeared across her face. Her front is stained red, her eyes glassy and sightless. He closes them with trembling fingers and swallows down his grief and forces himself not to cry. Later, there will be time for that later.

His mother is here, but his daughter is no where to be seen.

He looks.

He doesn’t find her.)

The sound of a throat clearing as him snapping out of haunted memories. Leviathan stands before him, brow arched, but before he can ask if she has need of him, his eyes catch sight of what she’s holding and he promptly swallows his tongue.

He knows that face.

Small and round with rosy cheeks and a narrow chin and a little nose and light, feather-fine hair framing her features. Bright gold eyes, the same eyes as the goddess holding her, peer up at him curiously, blinking slowly. There’s a moment where all sound fades out as the two of them stare at each other. Then her face scrunches up and her head tilts to the side and -

“Da?” she asks.

Luche chokes out a sob and he doesn’t know if he snatched her up or Leviathan handed her over, but either way, his daughter is in his arms, warm and breathing and alive. His daughter who he thought he lost, who he thought was taken from him far too soon, who he thought he’d never see again.

“Alyne,” he croaks into her hair as he falls to his knees, curling up around her like he could hide her away from the world.

“Da!” Alyne exclaims, sounding so pleased with herself, the same tone she used to use when she’d find him or his mother during hide and seek or when she found the toy he’d hidden when they played treasure hunt. That was her victory tone. That was her I found you tone.

There’s a hand in his hair, gentle and strong, and Luche isn’t sure if he somehow manages to express his thanks through his tears or if Leviathan just knows, but the next moment a kiss is pressed to the top of his head and her presence moves away.

“Bye bye, Ma!” Alyne calls and Luche gives a wet laugh that sounds much more like a sob as the sound of his daughter’s voice brings a fresh wave of tears to his eyes.

“Da ow?” Alyne asks, patting his wet cheeks, looking up at him with worried eyes.

Luche shakes his head. “Da’s just happy.”

Alyne looks skeptical and Luche forces himself to swallow down laughter he’s fairly certain would sound hysterical and possibly a bit unhinged.

“You found me,” he explains and that makes her face light up like the sun.

“Da!” she says, and it sounds like an agreement as she burrows into his chest, and he rocks her there, on the floor, the same way he did when she was new to the world and became the most important thing in his life, as he cries for his mother and his daughter and his family.

For this first time since he lost his home, Luche hopes.

@angelrider13 , you made everyone cry upon reading this!

Just. Yes. No wonder Luche was anger and bitterness wrapped in a compact package, no wonder he hated so - his daughter. His daughter. And here - here, it was partly that he didn’t know. He didn’t know what had happened to his little one, he didn’t have that closure, he didn’t - he lost his mother, he lost his home, he lost everything - and he lost his daughter.

And now. Now his daughter is here. His daughter knows him. His daughter is so happy to see him, and Luche breaks. He cries, as he hasn’t for so long - cries, as you said, for everything he’s lost. But it’s a good cry, it’s a good hurt - it’s the scar tissue being ripped open so a wound can heal clean.

And Alyne is so cute! Treating finding her Da like winning at hide-and-seek, so bright and innocent in the sheer joy of her triumph, worried for her father - and yes. Yes, she found him.

(I have slightly crackish mental images of Luche all but tearing apart Insomnia to find a toddler-supplies story open at this hour, because he needs All The Things for Alyne, and Tredd helping, increasingly fascinated by this small family - he’s never seen Luche like this before, and Alyne likes him! Likes Tredd. Can you imagine that?)

(…and now I’m picturing Alyne as the impetus for Tredd and Luche getting together somewhere down the line. Alyne has two Dads and a Mother. And she is happy.)

*snicker* Sudden mental image of a post-Reveal Regis/Cor/Ardyn Royal Bastard AU. Ace has three dads!

via http://bit.ly/2GTSpla

*cackles* okay but please imagine Ace, pre-reveal, having to listen to Ardyn talk about how attractive Regis is.

Ace voice: Please don’t. Uncle, Uncle no.

And then post-reveal Libertus has a shit-eating grin on his face as Ace finishes telling him that Regis is dating Cor AND Ardyn.

Libertus: So, you have three dads then.

Ace: Shuddaup Lib.

Libertus: I guess you could say *pause* you have a threesome of dads.

Ace groans. Selena and Crowe cackle. Nyx pats Ace’s back.
