incestuously adoring aristocratic family of amoral Roman emulators with messianic delusions of grandeur and a vicious will to power--or, how the House of Halbrandia made their own damn empire
Tumblr media
hannah prompted me on twitter. my borgias simping soul wrote the set-up for the years 1445-1492, starring:
la Princesa Dorada, Galadriel, the bastard sister of King Finrod Ferndinand of Spain. 
Or as she’s known in Rome, the Mary Magdalene to Cardinal Mairon, the Dark upstart as he schemes his way to the throne of St. Peter's.
Or: how Galadriel and Sauron are not Alexander and Vannozza in personality, and they're too fucking smart for the banalities of evil that undermined the loyalty and rule of all other princes of the time, and too fucking hedonistic and roman to ever not be cruel, cruel, cruel in slicing his way to the top.

"He’s not afraid of dying in that sense, he’s afraid of not being liked or loved and being left by his family. Whether they know it or not, they've been ganging up on him from the very beginning of the first season. What’s the problem with him? I think he’s lovely. I think he’s really kind and compassionate and cuddly. He just wants to be a part of the family and at every turn they’ve not allowed him. They’ve always pushed him away which is a great a shame." — David Oakes

You miss her that much?
Always.
If anything ever happened to her…I’d die.

Sometimes, this century has been bad and hard. But also. All the boys of yore are jealous of what we’ve got. I’m talking about option to subscribe to emails from cicero.

The Borgias Fanfiction | Cesare/Lucrezia Explicit | Canon Divergence | Chapter 1 of 6
Lucrezia had once dreamed of marrying her cousin Cesare even if, after being raised together, she should have thought of him only as a brother. By the time she had buried her third husband and was living comfortably in France, that dream had long since faded. Or so she thought, until she saw him again.

tell me about hellcheer borgias au?
Ooo just recently came up with the title:
In My Blood
It’s been super fun drafting (and rewatching The Borgias too ❤️). The only “sibling energy”Eddie and Chrissy have is Cesare and Lucrezia sibling energy 😆
I’ve had it in my concept folder for a while. Casting has been tricky aside from Eddie and Chrissy… still on the fence about some choices 🤔
For example, Juan was really tough. I originally thought I wanted him to be Steve, but I’m leaning more toward Billy now. There’s just so much more of a tortured antagonist in Billy, but he still has that charm and magnetic energy. He fits the scenes better. There’s also that possession/madness element that parallels Juan’s addiction.
It won’t follow the plot of The Borgias completely, and some of the roles and canon bloodlines will be altered to better blend the characters from both storylines.
However, the devotion and forbidden love of Cesare and Lucrezia is so natural to write for Eddie and Chrissy, it’s very intense and intoxicating. I don’t remember if I posted a snippet on Tumblr, so just in case:

Even in his dreams, he’s too late.
When he closes his eyes, he’s 12 years old. Long before he possesses the fire and vigor of adulthood. Long before he truly understands the dark mark Father put on his soul. At 12 years old, all he knows is that he needs to save his sister.
But he never makes it in time.
When he reaches the top of the stairs, he bursts through the attic door, just in time to see Father pour the gasoline. He rushes the man, certain with the vitality of youth that he can stop him. But Father only deflects him and pushes him to the ground, his laughter cold with malice.
You have the devil in you, my son.
Cesare’s blood runs cold at the sound of pride in Father’s voice.
You could only come from me.
Cesare wants to deny it, but as the flame rises, he finds himself looking at the altar. The sacrificial girl – no older than Lucrezia – bound and gagged over an unfamiliar symbol painted in blood. And his little sister, hands shaking as she raises the knife above her head. He opens his mouth to yell her name, but no sound escapes. He can only hear Lucrezia’s cries above the flames as she brings the knife down in a striking motion into the sacrifice’s heart.
Hellspawn, a modern Satanic AU
Coming soon…
