Its Gotten To A Point Were I'm Genuinely Thinking About Writing This But I Don't Have The Skill Or Motivation

Its gotten to a point were I'm genuinely thinking about writing this but I don't have the skill or motivation

SoC AU again, long ramble about how i imagine Vasily's character in this

Vasily being the groups Fjerdan would mean that something needs to push him to defect. Just like with Matthias at the beginning who is willing to give up secrets in exchange for killing Nina, that's basically why he joins. He just sees this as an opportunity to get payback and kill Ogata at some point. He would probably enter the story already having been shot, which could be interesting in him drawing the Ice Court himself instead of verbally explaining. But he also would be somewhat duty bound to not letting parem be weaponized. I don't know how snipers work with the Fjerdans or if they are just marksman in general, but I imagine they aren't seen as the most respectable of warriors since they don't get up close to kill grisha. This and the fact that his sniper pride was greater than his patriotism (during their first duel Ogata remarks on how a sniper is motivated by just the cold ability to kill not the hatred to dive headfirst into battle, which is kinda your average Fjerdan fighting style against grisha specifically) is what lead him to defect in the original so i think that would be enough for him to leave. I also think he would have never gotten a wolf, he wasn't 'chosen' by one and he didn't really want one either which really didn't help people's opinions of him. It actually might be interesting if he never passed the bridge to become a full Drüskelle, since Matthias said your told by a superior if they liked you how to pass, and he might have not been told. But I'm not sure if that would work, and maybe he was seen as not honorable but necessary so they just let him through.

He can bond over this with Ogata when he starts complaining about how if there were more sniper groups in the war there would be less causalities.

Overtime I feel he would become closer to the crew. Friends even. He might find a reason to live that isn't killing Ogata in actually making friends and having a ride or die group. Before all he had was the Fjerdan military, but now he has actual friends. Very flawed and kinda awful friends but still. The Vasily-Ogata dynamic is like Matthias and Kaz but instead of a duo with Nina or Inej they just have eachother. And they don't make each other better, only worse. That might change eventually but definitely not at the start. Vasily might slowly put killing Ogata behind in priority while Ogata has kinda the opposite development as he distances himself more and more from the crew. I always thought it was funny how they were written so passionate when they really wanted to kill each other. So Vasily would eventually 'let go' of (killing) Ogata. Also it would be funny if he became the go to marksman of the group just because you don't have to do mind games to get him to do something and isn't an asshole about everything. Ogata will totally not take this personally.

Endgame for him would be mostly the same in that he becomes a famous painter somewhere because this Fjerdan is actually surviving.

And I also think whatever prejudice is left against grisha would be destroyed by Inkarmat by explaining the fear they hold for eachother, she also wasn't ever in the Second Army. I think they could become friends. I love found family.
