#ci!robin

...eventually :)

hehe, but yeah, it's a wild journey. the au is actually technically already more or less complete with the story line, both the og and the ciquest version, i just...haven't written it completely HASFUIAHSF

but, that's an eventually too, because my love for this au will always be strong, no matter the hyperfixation i have rn

about robin's controlled infection! well, in mine and @/lumaxrambling's minds, controlled infection au and conquest au are intertwined (because ronance ofc yesyes), hence why its named ciquest au. why am i explaining this little bit?

it's because the reason why robin can control her infection is because of nancy :D

in the ciquest au, pestilence (max) suggests to One/Vecna to get nancy to their side, because she feels that it would really help them out (but also because nancy was also put into a trance by vec, so it goes full circle, doesn't it?)

One/Vecna agrees, but tasks pestilence to hit nancy with her poison infection arrows first to test her

and so the chimes go do that...except robin intervenes and takes it for her

however, instead of becoming infected and losing herself, robin's desire to protect nancy boosted her during her fight against the infection, leading her to take it as her own

in the og au, there is no suggestion to One/Vec, but there is still a moment where someone gets hit by an arrow. i will say now that ogfc!robin...does not have the same luxury as ci!robin

but anyway, yes, back to ciquest au, robin is able to control her infection, which then technically gives her an advantage as she has "taken" some of pestilence's powers to use against the chimes and Vec

ofc, this au is called ciquest for a reason, so seeing how robin is possibly becoming more of a threat, Vec sends the chimes to forcefully take nancy to level the playing field

hence her becoming conquest :>

(oh robin definitely won't blame herself for this, not at all :') much angst hehe)

as for robin almost losing her humanity...well, she gets close for quite a few times

but yeah :)
