It's Golden, Like Daylight

I can still see it all in my mind All of you, all of me, intertwined I once believed love would be black and white But it's golden, like daylight

I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you Been sleeping so long in a twenty year dark night But now I see daylight

are we sure Claude's father didn't fuck a Siodonnian dancer 30 years ago and that affair resulted in Diana's birth?

Spoon…

It does make me wonder what Claude would have done if Diana had heeded his words and chose to stay by his side instead of going through with the pregnancy. Like...he would have needed an heir eventually- such is a royal's unfortunate duty- and he was happy that Diana and him would have a child until he realized the baby was eating away at her from the inside...

Would he have chosen a middle ranked noble and made her give birth to his heir and die? Would he have risked watching Diana go through heartbreak and him, disgust, as he shared a bed with the nameless noble until the pregnancy was confirmed? Would he have bothered to find some distantly related relative and sat them on the throne as a puppet?

« I'll beg if you want me to. Don't leave, choose me. Choose me... Instead of the child that's eating your life away as we speak! »

I want a claudiana college au where diana is a theater arts student and a scholar while claude is a typical business ad student w a double major in finance and econ and hes ultra rich and indifferent to the world. their first meeting happens at some random cafe around campus. hes mean and rude to the baristas and diana, defender of light, who was also coincidentally in line behind him, couldnt stand him being so unnecessarily aggressive so she steps in and goes off on him on why he shouldnt be behaving like that and he doesnt respond instead he stares and stares and stares at her, expressionless and cold and shes unnerved but also dgaf bcs she thinks shes made her point clear so she decides to apologize to him but he has to understand he shouldnt be so rude to people just because hes rich. when he made no sign of actually responding to her, she huffs and leaves and thinks thats the end of it. except. EXCEPT. unbeknownst her, thats when her life goes to shit

I am currently obsessed with this new AU (I talked about it a bit in the Jen Protecc discord server)

Writing Claude and Lucas as characters that I’d actually like ✨

Talk more about it in a bit while I list out the key points again

Poor Diana. Like as much as people like Claude, he really. Would not have been a good partner. And all the art of her after she got pregnant with Athy? Literally just her sitting in a dark corner either completely alone or while Claude yells at her over her wanting to keep the baby. Anyway, here's my au where she is even sadder, because I live for angst.

You know, yeah Claudiana is a nice ship (Heck I love writing about them in my react fic)

... But Claude x Felix and Diana x Lilian though... <3

made a claudiana playlist 🌸 (it's toxic)

"Best not to worry her."

Have you heard Mass today?

Mozart (1756-1791), Missa brevis in F major, K. 192, "Kleine Credo Mass"

Nicely performed by Capella Claudiana and Amardia Ensemble, Marian Polin, director

I’m hilarious if you even care

Very random, but do you think Claude ever regretted not being there for athys birth, and basically letting the love of his life die alone with only maids and a newborn around her? I feel like it had to have come to his mind at least once, and now I kinda wanna read a one shot based around the idea, because mmmm angst.

Ooooh, 100000% yes.

We do see him regret (get depressed) quite a bit about being absent for most of her early childhood during that chapter when he stomped on that noble's hand that Aety possessed as well as when we see him shrink into his seat after he tells Athy of how Diana spoke(she TORE into the guy lmfao serves him right) to him.

About Diana, perhaps since the black magic didn't take a hold of him as Athy came into the picture earlier than in the Lovely Princess, we do know that he loved her and she him. He drinks himself to sleep on Athy's birthday and sees hallucinations of Diana, all symptoms of regret, depression, etc.

TL:DR; YES!!! WMMAP Timeline Claude definitely regretted not being there for Athy's birth after he got to know her as his daughter, and regretted even more about Diana's death because he was a foolish man to leave her there alone, knowing he could have been there for her last breaths, to kiss her hands and forehead, to let her know that he would be there for their daughter- a child born from their love.
