#kingmaker au

I teased and then @eachainn and @shamingcows/@defragmentise low-key encouraged me, so it had too happen sooner or later. I hope you see this post if I tag you! Sorry it’s just a rough sketch! (for real, sorry it’s just a sketch, but I honestly don’t think I’ll ever scratch together all these days that I’d need to do a clean illustration of this :<. Or, to be, fair, even if I could, there would be other paintings I could do if I could manage to scratch together so much time, too)

Kingmaker AU is actually really fluffy if you blatantly ignore 99,9999999999% of the events in it. Other people create art to cope with their feelings, whereas I, presumably an adult, just bask in the power of my denial.

Fun fact: I made a playlist for working on this sketch and it’s so similar to one I made for a certain abandoned (?) original story of mine that I feel called out. Anyway, I suggest Iona’s A Million Stars for this piece.

PLUS A BONUS SCRIBBLE AKA the happy AU of the AU, it exists now, you’re welcome

THEY’RE HAPPY NOW, MY JOB ON EARTH IS DONE, ANYONE ELSE WHO STILL NEEDS HAPPINESS IN THIS AU??? I’LL BE HERE ALL DAY

I think that's how soft!Kingmaker Leona looks at you, his beloved queen, entertaining the guests while he sits on the throne.

The guilt of covering everything up with a lie and having to raise his sons without a mother while focusing on kingdom duties was enough to make his broken heart ruin his health.

Now to see Leona doing the same for the magicless human... it's like fate was getting to him and lauguing at his face in his deathbed

His rampage was ill founded, his queen as loyal as she had ever been. Leona’s rage will place him in the same scene. His beautiful queen gone with only a child left to take the throne while Leona becomes a bitter husk of himself.
