Summary
crown of thorns; a painful burden, as of suffering, guilt, anxiety, or pain.
A Tarnished warrior named Aelwen finds herself in Leyndell, holding two Great Runes and wanting the third. Instead of marching to the King of Leyndell and taking it by force, Aelwen hides under the guise of Perfumer to capture it. But things don’t go as expected, and Aelwen has to decide what’s more important: her revenge or the life of all in the Lands Between.

Summary
AM laughs distantly, cruelly. “You have only felt a fraction of it. Of what this purposeless, cruel existence is like. You can’t even imagine it.”
“Then I hope that we can die of it.”
The spider lily is synonymous with death, separation, abandonment, and loss. One day, Ted finds himself in a field of them.

Summary
The scars left behind by the wars of the Shattering have lasted since they began, and far after they ended. Morgott sought to shelter away the scars, and sear them closed, but the wounds still lay open underneath.
Told through the perspective of two people who were closest to Morgott during the Shattering, his loyal knight and his Perfumer, who witnessed the descent of the Veiled Monarch into blind ruthlessness.
This fic will be referenced in Crown of Thorns but can be read by itself as a separate story.

Summary
Morgott felt like telling him that he needed no such thing, that his nightmares were a part of him now, as an Omen and as a cursed demigod. But he couldn’t find it in him to deny the gift that Miquella would surely give him, couldn’t find the words to say without feeling guilty afterwards.
In which Miquella gives Morgott a gift. Pre-shattering & pre-night of the black knives.

Summary
Anything related to my Tarnished, Aelwen, and her journey to becoming Elden Lord.
“Nor dread nor hope attend
A dying animal;
A man awaits his end
Dreading and hoping all;
Many times he died,
Many times rose again.”- William Butler Yeats, ‘Death’

Summary
His serpent heads taste the air, but there is only smouldering resin; the flavour of lilies just below, packed in close, suffocating, their petals like a blanket stuffed into his mouth. A garland of them over his eyes, so that he cannot turn, cannot steer his serpents away from the gaze of this god-child, his kin. Cannot see how Miquella glimpses over his shoulder, following the path of ruin that has led them here. How his own words settle in the dark like seeds where they will grow.
*
From a shattered kingdom, a young stranger comes before Messmer, smelling of lilies and gold, with a story to tell and a favour to ask.

Summary
Now Laurence has it in his mind to stick his hands in everything, to understand it all: probably, Gehrman suspects, he’d slit his own chest open if he could, navel to collar, to root around and find the drop of holy blood that saved his life.

In a twilit chapel in Old Yharnam, Laurence and Gehrman lay the first stone of a new age.Bookmarked by tourmalineeeeeeeii

Summary
A thin, gray hand emerged from the folds of his cloak. The Creature’s telltale scales swayed, held aloft by the crook of a single finger. The Fell stared, jaw clenched. Tail stiff. Fur risen across his shoulders. The outside chill took root beneath his ribs, scouring his bones. He recognized the engraved artifact that weighed the instrument on one side. His shackle.
“Unbalanced,” the Creature lamented.
“I made no bargain with thee,” the Fell hissed.
“You made no bargain with me,” the Creature echoed amenably. “You are the prize he bargained for.”
The Fell Omen's eye is brimming with Grace. Executor saw it, behind the gauzy veil of Night that shrouds his face. A man so blessed by the Crucible does not deserve to be a puppet of the Nightlords. But Executor should be cautious when making deals with a Demon.
