sympathy for the devil

“You can turn your back on this if you want. Just don’t expect me to still be here when you finally come around, again.”

Au where instead of being rejected by the crystal, Ardyn absorbs its power and becomes the crystal himself, like a funky little human battery. Still infected by the scourge and spreading it, he is both a necessity and a danger and is kept locked away in the Citadel instead of Angelgard so the Lucis Caelum line don’t lose their connection to the Gods and their magic.
