My contribution to Leodia Week this year: Crossover AU with Elden Ring π π
For people who know a little bit about ER it should be obvious who they are stand-ins for in the original lore haha. Anyways lore dump for this AU below the cut
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As an infant, Diana was found orphaned by the Knights of Leyndell, Royal Capital. They took her in among their ranks and, once she came of age, allowed her to train with the other initiates, hoping to mold her into a loyal servant of the Golden Order.
During that time she befriended Leona, a fellow knight initiate of mysterious origin with fiery red locks and an even fierier spirit in battle.
However, while Leona remained fully devout to the Erdtree's cause, over the years Diana saw her own faith in the Golden Order begin to waver, especially once she discovered their treatment of non-human races such as the Albinaurics and Misbegotten. She frequently challenged the will of her superiors, becoming a thorn in the side to the Royal Capital.
This tension reached breaking point when as a late teen, Diana was revealed to be an Empyrean, someone capable of forming a connection with an Outer God. And so, Diana's very existence became a threat to the reigning Goddess and the Greater Will. Knowing the schematics of the Golden Order and fearing for her life, Diana fled the Capital.
Leona was heartbroken, for as far as she knew, her friend disappeared overnight. In truth, Diana went on to Liurnia, where she discovered the Full Moon and eventually came to lead the Raya Lucaria Academy.
Years later, Leona, now a Champion of the Golden Order, was tasked to lead the golden host and conquer Leyndell's surrounding territories in the name of the Greater Will. Her aggressive campaign lead her to Liurnia and the front steps of the Raya Lucaria Academy.
She did not expect to see her old friend, now a fully fledged Queen of Caria, standing on the battlefield and single-handedly repelling the Leyndell army's assault, aided by the majesty of the night sky she conjured.

To kick off the new year here is a low-effort meme that appeals to me and me only
They would actually have a lot to talk about methinks
Thank you for the tag! I am curious about βBurn the witchβ and I think I remember the song that it might be referencing π
From: Ask me about my WIP Titles
Thank you for the ask Quails! And yesss, the song reference for this one is Burn the Witch by PVRIS! Not a literal one to one, but def the vibes and some of the lyrics give major Diana when she's not fucking around anymore.
I don't have a lot written down on this one yet so idk if I have much to share via a direct snippet, but the outline and certain scenes live very vividly in my head (listening to that song and I reread The Crucible last fall for some inspo).
Also this one is actually going to be told from Lyra the Lunari's perspective! Kind of like a sideline reporter of the action. It takes place before the More to Burn story when Leona fights Diana for the first time in 10 years, so this is right when Diana returns to Targon.
The general premise is Lyra is living in hiding in a Solari village with her boyfriend from the Vaulted Road cinematic, working as a spy for the Lunari. The Solari Burning Ones have been growing more radical and taking center stage in public. Someone (cough cough Diana), has been nailing written documents, a la Martin Luther style thesis, all over town challenging the Solari doctrines and behavior, and so the Solari show up to find the culprit. They _say_ they have the person responsible in custody, and gather everyone in the center of the village for a public execution by fire that evening, but a dark hooded figure who approaches the pyre from the crowd might have more to say on the matter.
(I'm sure it's a very reasonable and civil conversation...)
Anyway! I'm hoping to get to this one after I finish the Sunforger's Holiday. I don't think it's going to be too long a fic, but there's a lot set in motion from it in my story universe. Thanks again!
