#lambket

Me when Shroomwool (basically me explaining my thought process behind shipping Amos and Heket in the first place because I love mythology in general lol)

Anyways, I’m changing up how I doodle and all that jazz to help with me artblock! Everything’s green and has a different brush now!!! (Last image is a bit suggestive, but it’s nothing crazy)

I hope I didn't send you this twice

Yeah sure!! And you didn't send it to me twice dw :]

I havent spent much time on this au (only just decided to call it either NoEvil or something to do with stars and mirrors!) So their dynamic is subject to change, but what I do know is it's based heavily on my actual playthrough. But without further ado!

The Playthrough Influence

Much like most bishop lamb ships it started as enemies to lovers, and Nemesis only really began to fall for Heket after they pulled back on their tyranny. By this point they were married as Nemesis married every bishop knowing how much they'd loathe being tied to their usurper, but it wasnt until Heket was killed in a battle against a (very loyal) cultist did Nemesis realize they cared very much for Heket, doubly so when (I) they didnt have the bones necessary to revive her right away, opting to imprison her killer in hopes they'd starve to death.

A silly extra note is when I was able to bring Heket back the follower had grown elderly, so I released them from prison and had them battle. Somehow Heket LOST so I wound up murdering the follower in the dead of night witnesses be dammed. So because I had a favorite and am insanely petty towards fictional characters for the sake of the bit™, that right there is basically the start of their ✨️blossoming relationship✨️

Extra Headcanons

I'd like to imagine Heket was the one who inadvertently named Nemesis, given that she seemed to be the most ruthless towards the Lamb (at least if I recall. I know shes the only one who'd call you a coward if you kneel and turn every realm into battle zones if you don't), so perhaps after Lamb's many deaths (This is where it diverges from my playthrough because it was actually Kallimar that gave me the most trouble) Heket made a snide remark about them being her greatest pain, and Nemesis being the prideful sheep they are, decided to *fully* lean into it and make being the bishops' downfall their entire personality.

Also, Heket is a god of famine. So I think it'd be cute if she really takes a liking to their cooking when they *do* cook for the cult, and began seeking them out specifically whenever she was hungry. This eventually leads to Nemesis seeking out special ingredients and trying new recipes Heket may like (they'd deny it vehemently whenever Narinder questions them, saying they'd rather maintain the loyalty of the bishops no matter the cost and if that's going to be achieved by special recipes then so be it.)

Despite Nemesis's denial it really *doesn't* take them long for them to start dating, I think right after almost losing Heket is the moment they're forced to admit to themselves that they care for the bishop, and Heket caught on once the usually cruel god spared her after losing such a pitiful battle.

And thats it so far! Im developing a fic so I'd imagine this is either subject to change or there will be more tacked onto it (there is. It's bouncing around in my brain, I just have to find it). Thank you for the ask!! Have a small lambket doodle :]

Sure!

The premise I based this off is the semi-popular headcanon that Heket had a wife before the sacrifice happened. 

I really wanted to see a serious Lambket AU, so I thought how would it work if the wife Heket had before the sacrifice was the Lamb themself?

With the work I wanted to expand the Lamb's backstory (especially how Heket and a mortal met and even fell in love in the first place) dealing with feelings of betrayal, grief and revenge. 

In the AU, after the sacrifice the Lamb(whose real name is Amber) still falls in love with Narinder, because he is her safe space when all other certainties in her life have crumbled, but she will find he isn't the right target of her affection in the end. It does have a happy ending and Heket and Amber do get together :)

Right now it is a story on ao3, I haven't updated it past the prologue yet because I'm very busy, but I fully intend to finish the work.
